People suffering from type 1 diabetes will know.The disease, despite technological advances, forces to carry strict control of blood glucose level.Something that during a concert can be quite complicated.The Great Bret Michaels has recently spoken about this.And, the mythical Poison singer is diabetic type 1 since the age of six.
Therefore, what better than Bret to explain how to face a concert for all those musicians suffering from the disease.The musician has explained it very easily in an interview with 95.9 The River's Nick Jakusz:
“I am type 1 diabetic since I am six years old ... the best lesson I received from my parents ... a couple of things that my father and mother said.They were, like ... 'look, these are the letters that touched you.You don't have to love them, but you have to accept them.Or you are going to be a victim or you will be victorious;There is no middle ground.You are going to choose what you can do ... and we will find a way you play football, to play baseball, that mountains in Cross Moto, that you play music, what travels ... '.And that mentality is the one that helped me in the 80s and 90s and now in music, ”the artist began detailing.
“In Poison we were touring all the time, and alone, it is a non -stop.What I have learned to do is ... this is the truth ... when they see me take a break and someone is doing a little only ... you have a minute and I go out.When C.C.Deville starts a single guitar.Actually, it is an opportunity for me to run and check my blood sugar level, ”Michaels revealed.
“And now with technology, the constant glucose monitor is in my arm, it is injected into my arm.May I try it on.I adjust my insulin intake.I wear about five insulin injections a day, I adjust and find my rhythm, ”confessed the artist.
"I know that it seems crazy, but each diabetic has to find their own rhythm that maintains those controlled levels, because, if not, it can be devastating," he ended up saying.
