People you can relate to

Hey everyone!

Today I found out something that I didnt know! Paula Deen has Type 2 diabetes! She now has a new website that comes highly recommended by the Director of Lewis County CARES- Anita Gilbert. The website is here:  http://www.diabetesinanewlight.com/ Check it out! The website has a lot of great information and it gives you someone to relate to, someone southern and someone that understands type 2 diabetes- because she has it.

This got me thinking...I know that I love to find people to relate to that are famous, big names that can make a difference in something that I get, but I feel few people do. It gives me hope and reminds me that I'm not alone. I've talked to others and they feel this way too, so maybe you do as well.

Here is a website I found that divides up the list of famous people with either type 1 or type 2 diabetes.  http://www.dlife.com/diabetes/famous_people

Enjoy that list, and maybe you can identify with one of your favorite artists, musicians, or actors/actresses! :)


Don't forget to come to the Lunch and Learn tomorrow at the extension office at noon! Again our speaker is Karen Squires talking about Wheat Belly and the impact on her life.
