'Diabetes Dad' Tom Karlya Rejoins Diabetes Research Institute Foundation
Date:11/6/2008

Longs to fulfill promise of a cure for his daughter, others with diabetes

HOLLYWOOD, Fla., Nov. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- The Diabetes Research Institute Foundation (DRIF) announced that Tom Karlya will be rejoining the organization as vice president, effective November 17, and will be responsible for spearheading its national sponsorship initiatives and other fundraising programs.

Karlya is well-known in the diabetes community as the "Diabetes Dad," his ubiquitous pen name used for his monthly column, which appears at http://www.dLife.com/diabetesdad.

He left the DRIF to join dLife TV as a producer, where he won 13 Telly Awards (former Cable Ace Awards), The Media Health (Freddie) Award, and was nominated for an Emmy. Despite the success of the television show, he longed to return to the Diabetes Research Institute Foundation to fulfill the promise of a cure for Kaitlyn and the millions of others living with diabetes.

I truly believe that the DRI will lead this effort and that this is the place where I need to be and should be," said Karlya.

Robert A. Pearlman, president and CEO of the Diabetes Research Institute Foundation, enthusiastically welcomed Karlya's return. "The DRIF has grown tremendou
