A fun one. This isn’t about idolizing anyone (although I’m all for being fans of people and their work), but to show you that some of your favorite actors/actresses, athletes, performers etc also live with diabetes. Not only were a lot of these people on this list great at what they did, but they LEAD in their respective careers. I felt it was important to show you this to remind that diabetes doesn’t have to slow you down or stop you from accomplishing your goals, following your dreams & reaching your highest potential. These are some real life examples of that. Some controversy around #3 tho 😂 can’t wait to hear what you think. Don’t forget to rate & leave a review of the show! It would mean a lot 💙
