Diabetic Treatments and Events

Diabetes can take time to adjust to. There are many different treatments and medicines for those who live with diabetes. However, the medication and treatment actually depend on the person. Not all treatments are for everyone. It may take time and attempts so find the treatment that is best for a certain person. Though one of the most important things diabetics should do is stay on top of their diabetes. Especially through exercise can help control your blood sugar level. Also recently a Diabetic Medical Researcher pioneer, William Kirtley died at the age of 96. He started working after World War 2 that improved the lives of many diabetics. Just something to think about!

Also on September 25, 2010 at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, there will be the 20th Annual Birmingham Walk to Cure Diabetes! I am in the process of trying to go and I'm checking to see if I can participate in the walk, which will be a sight to see! I'm sure it'll be a wonderful turn out and I'll give out more information when I can! I know leave you with a quote!

"I can't convince you to put the drink down if you're an alcoholic, you have to want to do that. I can't convince you to stop eating the cookies when you're a diabetic. You have to do that. And that takes responsibility."
