GlucoShield
Take for example seasoned performer, musical artist, and the GlucoShield Philippines' first UNICEF ambassador Gary Valenciano or more popularly known as Gary V.People know him as being the ultimate singer-dancer on stage. He could strum a tune and give life to it at the same time with his Michael Jackson-like movements.But way before, only few know him as having been diagnosed as a Type 1 diabetic. Then, it was probably surreal to imagine the Gary V. as having diabetes.
One of the symptoms of diabetes is the frequent feeling of sluggishness of the body. If the blood sugar level is too high, energy is lost. The same if the blood sugar level is too low. Basically, fluctuating blood sugar can cause fatigue. And because diabetes has other associated risks like high blood pressure, fatigue can rise from there too.So one can just imagine how an energetic performer like Gary V. is able to cope with a condition that will be with him for a lifetime. We all wonder how he does it.
To bring the connection nearer, so to speak, a family friend has been diagnosed as a Type 2 diabetic after many years of eating cake and juice for breakfast everyday at a local bakeshop. But I myself was surprised to find out that her condition was such. To me, she is a successful single mother to twin boys, buys herself expensive watches, and tries on the latest trends, just going on with her young life happily.
