You Are Not Alone!!
Through all the struggles we face with our diabetes, we sometimes feel like we are the only ones going through it! Well…. you are NOT alone! Did you know that there are close to 3 million Americans with Type 1 diabetes? So we really are not alone, there are so many people living with diabetes. Here is a list of some famous type 1 and type 2 diabetics that you may know:
Halle Berry- actress
Jonathan Hayes- NFL player
Delta Burke- actress
Kendall Simmons- NFL player
Bill Gullickson-MLB player
Johnny Cash- Singer
Ella Fitzgerald- Singer
Randy Jackson- Singer/Producer/American Idol judge
Bret Michaels-Singer
Nick Jonas- Singer (The Jonas Brothers)
These are just a few celebrities that I came across who live with diabetes. While they may be famous, they have diabetes just like you and me! We all need a support system and I hope that Camp Seale Harris and the other SDES programs provide a network for you. Connect with your friends from camp and remember that YOU ARE NOT ALONE!!
