Something that makes diabetics not see ourselves as rare bugs is precisely to know other people with the same "sweetness", and that better examples, that those celebrities who have publicly recognized being diabetic?

I copy some of those that I know and invite you to add those who are not on the list, always motivate to see how people with diabetes have no impediment to get the goals that are proposed!

- George Lucas, creator of the successful Filmic Saga of Star Wars and later from Indiana Jones, president of Lucasfilm and Lucasarts Entertainment Company.

- Elvis Presley, American rock singer and popular music icon of the twentieth century.He inspired many singers both inside and outside the rock genre.Considered the King of Rock and Roll, he also starred in numerous films.

- Maradona, Argentine footballer nicknamed "El Ten" and "Pelusa", among others.He is considered one of the best players in the history of this sport, being chosen as the best player of the twentieth century.

Also the list is great in terms of musicians:

For utlimo, one that perhaps surprises you, Jose Mª Escribá de Balaguer , the founder of Opus, in one of his stories "sells" as a miracle his recovery of a hiccup: ((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((

They tell it:
Diabetes was the cause of very strong sufferings for the father.He lived with a constant headache, he was very thirsty, overweight and other capricious dysfunctions of that disease.High doses of insulin had to inject every day.But he didn't lose his cheerful mood.And he joked about his excess blood sugar:
"They should call me Pater Dulcissimus."
April 1954. San Josemaría has already lived for years in Villa Tevere, the headquarters of Opus Dei, in Viale Bruno Buozzi, and the diabetes suffered by had sharpened.Every week analysis was done and each time the result was more negative, despite the diet so rigorous that it observed and the high dose of insulin that was applied daily.On April 27, following the doctor's instructions, Álvaro del Portillo put an insulin injection.They then went down to the dining room.
Suddenly, sitting at the table, he suffered a shock and immediately asked Don Álvaro's acquittal.
"Alvaro, give me acquittal.
"But, father, what does she say?"Asked Don Álvaro, without understanding what was happening.
"The acquittal!"
As Don Álvaro did not understand, St. Josemaría began to say the absolution formula - I absolute you ... - and faded.
It was an anaphylactic shock.After giving him the acquittal, Don Álvaro tried to take some sugar and quickly warned the doctor.When he arrived, he began to recover, although he had become blind.But this blindness lasted just a few hours.Then, it was completely cured.He had some sequelae of the disease he had suffered for ten years, but he was no longer diabetic.

My mother, what you have to hear.
And they go and make it holy.

Anyway, you have left the big one, the only one, the unrepeatable .... Tachán ... Mae West.

Yes, that one that said: "When I'm good, I'm very good, but when I'm bad ... I'm even better"

The same one that told an acquaintance, when he approached to greet her with a kiss: "Do you wear a gun in your pocket, or is it that you are very happy to see me?

Great, great, yes sir.

Nick Jonas, the youngest of the Jonas Brothers ... I do not know either the first or the others, but they must be a famous group.It seems that there is a song of this man who is about his diabetes, I put a translation, although I don't know if it's very good.

You Don’t Even Know (A Little Bit Longer)

I saw the news today
But they said what I should say
Just a little more and I'll be fine
When I thought everything was already done
When I thought everything had already been said
Just a little more and I'll be fine
But you don't know what you have until it goes
And you don't know what it is to feel so decay
And every time you smile or risk, your shines
You don't know, you know, you know.
You still don't know

All this time has moved
And there is still no reason why
A little more and I'll be fine
I'm waiting for a cure
& lt; a href = " Link & gt; letters4u.com »& lt;/a & gt; letters4u.com» Link
But none of them is safe
A little more and I'll be fine
But you don't know what you have until it goes
And you don't know what it is to feel so decay
And every time you smile or risk, your shines
You don't know, you know, you know.
You don't know, you know, you know.
You still don't know, no

But you don't know what you have until it goes
And you don't know what it is to feel so decay
And every time you smile or risk, your shines
You still don't know!YEAH!Woah!

So I will wait until the final day.
When all the high and low have gone
Just a little more and I'll be fine
I'll be ... well

Jay Cutler

Jay Cutler, Quarterback of Denver's Broncos, knew that something was wrong with his health when he began to lose weight and strength by launching the ovoid despite maintaining a strict training regime

A month ago he was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and will need daily insulin injections, however his career is not at risk.

"I had no energy.At first we thought it was by Stress and the workload of the season, but when the thing returned in preseason, it did not improve and continued losing weight, ”said Cutler yesterday.

Routine blood tests after the break revealed the problem: their sugar levels were very high so he went to see specialists who gave him the news.

About 21 million people in the United States suffer from diabetes, which means that their body does not have the ability to convert sugar into energy.Whether they do not produce enough insulin or their body does not use it correctly.With type 1 diabetes, the body's immune system attacks pancreatic cells that produce insulin, so patients need injections to survive.

Jay will play his third season at the NFL, in 2007 he had 20 scores.

In the former USSR it seemed to be a leader and diabetic is all one ... Gorbachev, Andropov, Kruschev.

Also in the Vatican, it seems that the last 2 potatoes have (or had) sugar.
What a curious coincidence :))

From Spencer Tracy I read that in addition to sharing his life with Katherine Hepburn (and literally died in his arms) he was the only one who shared the last months with Humbrey Bogart.

Some great phrases by Mr. Woody Allen (although called Allan Stewart Königsberg):
• I am interested in the future because it is the place where I am going to spend the rest of my life.
• There are only two important things in life.The first is sex and I don't remember the second.
• Sex is the most fun that can be done without laughing.
• I am ugly enough and low enough to succeed for myself.
• For the army they declared me useless.If there was a war I would only serve as a hostage.
• It's not that I am afraid to die, it's just that I don't want to be there when it happens.

Some other diabetics that I left in the inkwell:
Aida Turturro (plays Janice in the series Los Soprano, and cousin of Nicholas and John Turturro).
Chris Dudley , 14 seasons in the NBA, has a very active children's diabetes foundation.
Jay Leeuwenburg , 9 seasons in the American Football League, with diabetes since the age of 12.
per zetteberg , Swedish international footballer, already retired.
Jason Johnson , American baseball player.

From Arthur Ashe , (he was a tennis player, one of the best, black)a lot more.
From him they tell a very good reflection, in reference to AIDS:

"He once received a letter from a fan who said:

- Why does God have to select you for such an ugly disease?
- Ashe replied: In the world 50,000,000 boys begin to play tennis, 5,000,000 learn to play it, 500,000 learn professional tennis, 50,000 enter the circuit, 5,000 are able to play a Grand Slam, 50 arrive in Wimbledon, 4 to theSemifinals, 2 to the final.When I was raising the Cup I never asked God: Why me?And today with my illness, I shouldn't ask: Why me? "

Gabi Hernández , world champion in water polo with Spain

Andrew Lloyd Webber that the same by this name does not tell you anything, peri if I tell you that it was the producer and "alma mater" of the supermegaproductions cats, Jesus Christ Superstar and avoid ...

And the last one, anne Rice , writer, famous for her vampire chronicles.

Let's continue with the list ... come:

Heinrich Böll was one of the most important and known writers of the Federal Republic of Germany."Tied to the time and its contemporaries, in the lived, what was suffered, what was seen and what was heard," as he wrote, he was a critical chronicler of the history of German post -war in the middle of this century.

In 1972 he won the Nobel Prize for Literature for his novels and stories.

His courageous and incorruptible objections have essentially enriched and marked political culture in Germany.Above the ideological barriers Heinrich Böll intervened throughout his life in favor of persecuted writers, civil rights activists and political prisoners.What gave him, among others, in a newspaper of the RDA, the mocking name of "ascerative father of the fellow dissidents without truce."

... And seen that is the lyrics of the "kid" Jonas ... teach the mic!,,

Curious.The Jonas Nick that says Xara is a member of one of the most important adolescents of the moment, the Jonas Brothers.If you take a look at the large YouTube videos, the forums and others, you will see that this type of diabetes has made all the articles published by experts more popular.For example, in one of the videos you will see the fans shouting of .... I do not know if of pleasure or emotion ... when Nick is shown by measuring and showing the bomb.

Reflot this thread to track Adam Morrison, basketball player.

He was in the Lakers (playing, did not play), was No. 3 of the Draft and an entire university sport star in the US.
All that with type 1 diabetes: he debuted at age 14

He is currently playing in Europe, in the red star of Belgrade, within the curious Adriatic League (I say curious because he also plays the Tel Aviv Maccabi, Slovenian teams, Croats and I don't know if a Russian ...)

In his stage like laker, he had these pints:
But now we have put these pints: At least it is very easy to distinguish it in the videos: Mrgreen:

As I have written in other threads, it is a peculiar type;Before the matches always eat the same, a steak with roasted potatoes;It is a fervent follower of Che Guevara and Karl Marx

After moving to professional basketball, his first 4 years have been catastrophic, his debut in the NBA was discreet for what was expected, he started holding but gradually losing prominence in Charlotte and was transferred to the Lakers (he agreed with Gasol) whereHe didn't play anything.
Last year he spent it blank, without playing in any professional team.

This year he has signed for the red star of Belgrade, trained by one of the best European coaches S.Pesic, and has reborn his ashes in an area where basketball and team sports are a religion.
Morrison fits as a glove there, his communist convictions, his introverted character, his attachment to daily work and team discipline make him ideal for a team trained by Pesic.

Despite the 3 losses, for only 2 wins, of the Belgrade team, Morrison is the player who plays the most minutes: 30 per game, averaging 17.8 points with shooting percentages above 45%

A couple of videos of your games this year:
