You cannot be too rich or too poor to get
diabetes. Many famed people from all occupations have
contracted Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes and did not let it stop their
careers. By looking at them, you can gain inspiration that
your diabetes, or the diabetes of a loved one, can be managed to
maintain your quality of life.
Diabetics in the Area of
Sports
It is a myth that diabetics cannot enjoy
sports. Really, regular exercise is encouraged to help manage your
condition. There are many diabetics past and present in the
area of professional sports. Here are some of the more
renowned:
Arthur Ashe: The first
African American to win Wimbledon, he had Type 2 diabetes.
When he eventually died, it was owing to AIDS contracted through a
blood transfusion. Bobby Clarke: His name is indistinguishable
with the Philadelphia Flyers hockey team, which he helped win two
Stanley Cups in the 1970's, and then became general manager in the
1990's. He has Type 1 diabetes. James "Buster" Douglas: Heavyweight boxer
who knocked out Mike Tyson in 1990 did not let Type 1 stop him.
Diabetics in Music
The crazy schedules of professional musicians
make eating regularly a chore. However, it must and can be
done. Perhaps you went to a concert or have a record of one
of these well-known diabetic singers and musicians:
Elvis Presley: He had
numerous problems, and Type 2 diabetes became one of
them. Patti LaBelle: Still performing today, the
soul singer with incredible hair is even a spokesperson for
OneTouch blood sugar monitors. Jerry Garcia: The immortal Grateful Dead
lead guitarist did make an effort to manage his Type 2, and had
wittiness about it. Bret Michaels: Hunky lead singer of the
metal band Poison was diagnosed with Type 1 when he was six.
Diabetic Authors
Writers have an unpredictable life as it is
with very unpredictable sources of money. Nevertheless, with
discipline, you can write and have enough to eat and manage your
diabetes. You might have heard of these renowned diabetic
writers: Ernest Hemmingway: When he eventually died, it was
attributable to suicide thought to be from a combination of
depression and alcohol. H.G. Wells: Yes, THAT H.G. Wells, was born with
Type 1 and eventually founded the British Diabetics
Association. Laura Ingalls Wilder: It is unknown what
sort of diabetes she had, but she did live to the
ripe old age of 90.
