Paul van Berkel
Diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes in the early 90s I have had to alter my diet as well as my lifestyle in order to properly control my health. I have been able to lead a somewhat "normal" life thanks to the resources at the Canadian Diabetes Association. Aside from the daily insulin injections, I go about my day like most of my family and friends. I use exercise as a means of controlling my blood sugar levels as well as keeping fit in my old age.

I'm a brother of a Type 1 diabetic. I'm healthy, not without age induced pains but otherwise very active. I have a mission: I am committed to the fight against Diabetes and to my brother. I'm a family man and I value my family above all. I used to feel helpless but now I feel like I'm doing my part to expedite the race to a cure that may make a difference in not only Paul's life but many others.
What a feeling!
