- Relationship to Diabetes
- Type 1
Knowledge and listening to your own body are the best tools you have to help manage your health.
Diabetes is much like the ocean. You should never turn your back on it.
But if it does pull you into danger, you can learn to swim.
"You're not sentenced to death because you have diabetes. You can beat it," said Sharlene Stahl, who really took charge of her own health when she was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. "I'm off all my medicine."
Stahl was a person who had to learn the hard way. She had spent her life with her back to the ocean.
"I've lost hundreds of pounds over my lifetime and regained them," she said. "I had to have something dramatic happen before I could change my life."
