“You can’t separate diabetes from your life. You have to weave the diabetes into your routine and make it part of your life, just like brushing your teeth or getting up to go to work in the morning. It’s just part of the fabric of what you do and who you are. I think if you take that attitude, it’s much easier to live with.”

"My grandmother died of diabetes when she was 57, and she had Type I diabetes since she was 17. She was using glass syringes, bovine insulin, and she was doing a urine test once a day to try to figure out how much insulin to take. She tried to manage it as best she could, but it wasn’t all that long ago when I was teenager and I saw that happen, to the treatments that they have today. They are just centuries apart in terms of the capabilities to manage diabetes, so it’s very encouraging."

"One of the things that happens is that you learn a lot at the beginning of the diagnosis and then you kind of get into a rhythm, and you find that you’ve perhaps have fallen into negative patterns, where you’re not fixing things and you’re not continually changing. I believe that diabetes care, especially if your child is growing and aging, is an evolving process."
