On February 13, 1986, Sonia Antón was diagnosed with 10 years that he suffered diabetes.30 years later and before more than 1000 people he shared how that path had been, hard on many occasions, but does not present complications of any kind.
Sonia Antón told us with the help of one of her intimate friends such as her debut, at what time we were and what tools were available to people with diabetes and what was said at that time of diabetes.It seems a lie that 30 years later many of those doubts and fears have dissipated, but technology advances and the quality of life of people with diabetes as well.
From Sonia Antón we met his love for basketball, as he maintained the conditions of his insulin on his first trips or how computer science attracted him.But above all we learned that she feels that in diabetes something is changing, that communication between people has changed and also between health professionals and patients.
His vision 30 years after the debut is optimistic, because he has managed to handle his diabetes excellently, being an active person in his control, but above all and as she said for the number of people he has had by his side and that they have helped herAt all times.
Sonia Antón has been an inspiration for all of us.One of the mothers who were present at the event arrested her at the conclusion of the event to confess that "since that day he would stop seeing his son connected to a dialysis machine, or blind."That message of optimism is what Sonia Antón represents, and the Diabetes Experience Day movement.The best is yet to come.
