What is an A1C Champion?
The A1C Champions® Program, sponsored by sanofi-aventis U.S., is a patient-led approach to diabetes education. A1C Champions® are people with diabetes who share diabetes self-management and lifestyle strategies based on extensive training and their personal experience. An A1C Champion’s primary role is to conduct empowering presentations for other people with diabetes, their family and friends. In these patient-to-patient presentations, an A1C Champion talks about his or her physical, emotional and psychological experiences with diabetes. By sharing personal insights and helpful approaches with others, A1C Champions® help empower others to make the right choices in taking care of their diabetes.
