Summary
From the voices of children and teens with type 2 diabetes (from ages 11 to 18), this “motivation” video lets young patients know that they are not alone with their condition and their emotions about it. Teens featured in the video share that type 2 diabetes means neither a death sentence nor a boring life of forbidden foods, limited activities, and over-protective parents. This video sends a positive message that they are in control of their bodies, their health and their future. It helps young people with type 2 diabetes start a new life of healthy eating and increased activity where they are in charge of their choices.
