My goals over the decade include to develop new drugs to treat intractable diseases by using iPS cell technology and to conduct clinical trials using it on a few patients with Parkinson's diseases diabetes or blood diseases.

I was determined to share my positive approach and not let diabetes stand in the way of enjoying my life.

My mom passed away at 41 from diabetes. And I'm 42 thank you. I didn't want to do that to my son. So any time I was at the gym that thing that helped me do that last squat was my son calling some other woman mommy. And that would just give me that extra oomph to do that last squat. I want to be around for him.

Diabetes is a disease that's had a deep impact on my family. My little brother has had type 1 diabetes since he was a baby and I have spent time learning about the disease and trying to bring attention to it so that one day soon we will reach a cure.

Today diabetes is now epidemic according to the Centers for Disease Control the National Institutes of Health the American Diabetes Association and other national healthcare leaders.

My goal is people associate November with COPD awareness month as much as they notice October with breast cancer and pink. That'd be a great thing if it happened. The fact that COPD kills more people than breast cancer and diabetes put together should raise some red flags.

While approximately one in every 400 children and adolescents have Type I diabetes recent Government reports indicate that one in every three children born in 2000 will suffer from obesity which as noted is a predominant Type II precursor.

There's not one food that causes diabetes.What causes Type II diabetes is being overweight... I've just come to grips over the past four or five months with my diabetes.

Our children are obese either have or being threatened by diabetes high blood pressure high cholesterol and not socially adjusting properly to others because of a lack of fitness.

I was always on the go and thought I was too busy to develop something like this. I thought at the time that diabetes went along with bad habits but I was the last one in my family to eat junk food.

Alzheimer's Parkinson's brain and spinal cord disorders diabetes cancer at least 58 diseases could potentially be cured through stem cell research diseases that touch every family in America and in the world.

Diabetes affects my family. One of my kids is affected by it.

There are five issues that make a fist of a hand that can knock America out cold. They're lack of jobs obesity diabetes homelessness and lack of good education.

The medical literature tells us that the most effective ways to reduce the risk of heart disease cancer stroke diabetes Alzheimer's and many more problems are through healthy diet and exercise. Our bodies have evolved to move yet we now use the energy in oil instead of muscles to do our work.

I am a type-2 diabetic and they took me off medication simply because I ate right and exercised. Diabetes is not like a cancer where you go in for chemo and radiation. You can change a lot through a basic changing of habits.

People with high blood pressure diabetes - those are conditions brought about by life style. If you change the life style those conditions will leave.
