It's Her Fault

Today is World Diabetes Day.

I have had type 1 diabetes since 1990.

World Diabetes Day started in 1991.

It was not until 2005 that I found the DOC and really made my health a priority.

I found the DOC because of one person.

Christel Marchand.

She used to host a podcast called DiabeticFeed and now writes a blog called The Perfect D.

Every convention I have been invited to, every connection I have made, every life I have ever touched is directly connected to her. I think about her every single day because when I think about the DOC it all goes back to her in my eyes.

Her intelligence is only trumped by the size of her heart. My family loves her like family because that is what she has become.

Christel, there is no one else I should write about in the DOC before you today. You brought me to a community of support that saved my life and I owe it all to you!

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

 

Love, George.
