I'm sure this doesn't even scratch the surface. Diabetes does not care about race, color, gender, economic status. It could strike anyone at anytime. Make sure you know the signs of diabetes and have your children tested at their annual check-ups. If their pediatrician does not normally test, ask them about it. Without treatment, diabetes kills. Remember that insulin is not a cure, it is life support.
***Halle Berry is a moron who claims she went from type 2 to type 1, which is impossible. I only mention her because if you google "celebrities with type 1 diabetes" you will most likely find her.
