Well, there are certain foods that I prefer not to eat because they're just such a jolt to the system

Both children and adults like me who live with type 1 diabetes need to be mathematicians, physicians, personal trainers, and dietitians all rolled into one.

You can't be brave if you've only had wonderful things happen to you.

I'm sort of doing a lot of the things now that I never thought I would and that I wished I had done a year or so ago.

Diabetes is an all-too-personal time bomb which can go off today, tomorrow, next year, or 10 years from now - a time bomb affecting millions like me and the children here today.

I don't think there's anything quite as dashing as a cop on horseback. To me it's wonderful.

When the doctor said I had diabetes, I conjured images of languishing on a chaise longue nibbling chocolates. I have no idea why I thought this.
