“Poor Richard Jewell lived a fated life. I hope he is in heaven now.”

He died of Type 2 diabetes at age 44. Pretty nasty disease...even worse than I thought.

so sad I thought he was still with us.

Type 2 Diabetes can be controlled and even reversed by lifestyle changes: diet and exercise. Eat healthy, take a walk every day. Even a 20 minute walk can a difference. Not to mention that walking lowers your blood pressure and stress levels.

My significant other would not take care of herself. I begged her to no avail. She became insulin dependent. She would come home from work on Friday with a couple cakes from the bakery and donuts. She would eat them all, shoot herself up with insulin and pass out for the whole weekend. I would not see her till late Sunday afternoon.

I don't see how that is any different than coming home on a Friday with a bottle of whiskey and drinking yourself into a stupor.
