JAMES EARL’S PEARLS (OF WISDOM)

“It is so much better to be the director of my health rather than the victim of my health problems.” “I was raised on a farm

and ate good and worked out. I was also

in the army, and we skied uphill, so we were all very fit. The idea of having diabetes really was a surprise for me.” “Your lifestyle involves your relationships. You have to engage your whole family in the maintenance of

your health.”

“My son pretty much monitors what I eat. We pack a lunch together, or he’ll get food for me during breaks. He’s a big help. He does all the stuff I had a hard time

doing on my own.”
