Who's who ...

Who's who when it comes to diabetes? There are several famous people who do tremendous things for diabetes advocacy, and for the further study of the cure for diabetes. Some of the obvious ones are of course Nick Jonas, Bret Michaels, Patti LaBelle, and Andrew Lloyd Webber. Although these people do great works and use their fame to to help support diabetes, there are a lot of famous people who don't even want people to know that they have it such as, Halle Berry, Anne Rice, and Larry King. These people do mention their diabetes but don't do much for the world of diabetes. Along with these people, there are people who don't even get recognition for their work in the diabetes world: JoAnne DeNovio (founder of the Sugar Free Gang), Ellis Medicine (a diabetes research team), Carling Coffing, and so on.  I recently had the privilege of meeting Tony Cervati, a Type 1 Rider.  Though celebrities throughout the world do great work in supporting the JDRF and other associations, we also have to recognize the people who just do great work in their own communities.  So next time you think you can't make a difference, think again.  Your community needs you!
