Leonard:
“If a person has recently been diagnosed with diabetes, probably the most important thing that I could think of, that I would have liked to have heard at the time, when I was first diagnosed, was ‘There is hope’ and that ‘You are stronger than diabetes.’
“Believe it or not, no matter what else you’ve heard about what all it does, anything you might even hear me say with what might have happened to me, understand, you can beat it.
“You are stronger than diabetes and there is hope. There are people who can help you follow the diet, follow the exercise, take the medication.
“And, be aggressive about it. Be proactive about it. Then, you can be stronger than diabetes. There’s no doubt about that!”
