im a 25 year old hispanic graphic designer from southern california. i have recently been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes on december 9th of this year. both of my parents have it and one of my older brothers has it as well. the day that i got diagnosed i was frozen, not with fear but shock.
when i got home i listened to nothing but johnny cash songs and came across a song called ‘drive on’ that gave me a new outlook in life. after thinking about everything i took diabetes from the horn and decided that it was not going to over take my life so i started to chang my life right away along with my girlfriend’s support.
