This is not Diabetes University.

Learn how I found this out.

Thisis Diabetes University...

...the everyday challenges and events of

life. The people you meet, the places you go...

...the food you eat.

This is horrible!

Diabetes is going to control my

life!

I had a choice to make.

I could not

change the fact that I had been diagnosed with diabetes. But I could change how I responded to the disease...

A meeting room in a hospital..

No... no...

No. Not me.

At a supermarket

At Home

Of course, I would have to eat differently.

But there was just

as much good food to eat in the new way as

in the old...

I would have to

test my blood sugar every day with this

kit...

But that was a simple act,

quickly over.

Was I going to let it take

over my mind?

Focus. That’s what I would do.

Focus on the good, not the bad.

The bad would still be there, of course. But i wouldn’t let

it take over.

Was I going to surround myself with situations that

brought me down?

Or with situations--and people--that brought me joy?

Speaking...

Volunteering....

At the rink...

I chose joy.
