Christopher Thomas was an aspiring writer. Suddenly he was losing weight fast- 40 pounds in just four months. A test showed that his body wasn't producing insulin and that his blood sugar was six times higher than normal.
He had diabetes type 1, so he need to inject himself with insulin three times a day for the rest of his life or risk kidney failure, blidness, nerve damage, amputations, and even death.
After a month of feeling sucker punched, he decided he'd better find a way to fight back. He created diabeticrockstar.com, a free on line community for diabetics; and a charity too Fight-it who had raised about $23 000.
Bentley Gubar, one of Rockstar's member says: "Chris is the only person I know saying people need help now".
I'm going to say this in spanish: "Es momento de actuar contra las enfermedad que causan la muerte, no desconsolarnos y sentirnos mal por ellas, aprendamos de Chris y todo lo que ha hecho por la gente diabetica no solo en USA sino en todo el mundo".
