Inspiring Company in Diabetes

Important celebrities from the entertainment world and professional sports people have diabetes. This proves that the disease need not prevent any of us from achieving excellence in our chosen fields.

The beautiful star Halle Berry, the versatile actor Marcello Mastroianni, the award-winning George C. Scott, the beloved Spencer Tracy, the sensual Mae West, and the incredibly gifted Ella Fitzgerald, are a few of the people who have entertained us so splendidly for years, though each of them has lived with diabetes.

Kris Freeman, who has been one of the world’s top performers in the extreme sport of cross-country skiing, the professional golfer, Scott Verplank, and the celebrated Pakistani cricketer Wasim Akram, all suffer from diabetes, but have excelled in their respective fields.

Diabetes need make no difference to our abilities to do well at our vocations, and to lead highly productive lives. It is just a matter of understanding the nature of the disease, and of cooperating with our physicians in management of the condition, by following prescriptions for diets, exercise routines, and medicines, without fail.
