HARE’S STORY
Hare was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes in 2007. His doctor sent him
along to a free diabetes information class, which he found answered a lot of questions he had. He feels that every person with Type 2 Diabetes should know that they are not alone and to talk with other people who have diabetes and share their experiences.
LISA’S STORY
Lisa has been a diabetic for more than 20 years. It wasn’t until she lost her vision 3 years ago that she began to take it seriously. ” I have Diabetes, it doesn’t have me.” is the way she lives each day now. Winning the battle every day can be a struggle, but winning the war on Diabetes is the reward.
