I tend to bump into unusual people who take care of themselves and have amazing stories. It is tremendously inspiring to hear how others, like yourself and Will, work and manage their diabetes. I think it is a discussion worth having. Your stories should be out there. On the opposite side of the coin - Why are the cases of diabetes rising at the same rate of chronic obesity? How do we help each other through this epidemic? How do you use your story to encourage and inspire others who need it? It is not going away. It is crippling the economy. It is getting worse. Many people need help. Time to push back and educate, inspire and succeed. Good for you Julia. I tend to bump into unusual people who take care of themselves and have amazing stories.

Both the diabetes and the weight problem were the unwanted side effect of a medication used to treat a serious mental illness. I work out at the gym regularly and eat according to the guidelines set out by the Australian Diabetes Association. So please do not make assumptions that just because a person is over weight or had diabetes that they are weak, because i for one am not I have had diabetes for many years and yes i have a weight problem as well but i am not a weak person.

We're in the midst of an obesity and resulting diabetes crisis. Consider that less than half of the 25 million diabetics in the US have any education about a disease that NEVER goes away. My work with fellow diabetics revolves around our relationship with the disease. I like the carrot as a motivator rather than the stick. Most of us know the consequences of untreated diabetes; however if we know the value of well-treated diabetes, maybe we'll take action to achieve self-care mastery. I am dedicated to educating and waking up as many diabetics as I can. Lawrence,
