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!
