Diabetes Patient Presents “Understanding Insulin”
Friday, September 26th – 10:00 a.m.
Seacoast Medical Center, Main dining area, 4000 Hwy 9E., Little River , SC 29566
Curtis Story will be speaking at Seacoast Medical Center to share his personal experiences with taking insulin to help
control his diabetes. Curtis is a member of the sanofi-aventis A1C Champions® program, which is a patient-led approach
to diabetes education. He has diabetes and takes insulin as part of his overall diabetes therapy. A1C Champions® know
first-hand the challenges to controlling diabetes and understand the fear and uncertainty about taking insulin. They share
information about diabetes self-management and insulin based on extensive training and their personal experiences with
diabetes.
During this “Understanding Insulin” presentation, Curtis will share:
- Why insulin is not a sign of failure, but can help you be successful
- His personal story about living with diabetes
- Background information on insulin
- His reasons for choosing insulin
- Why it is important to have an A1C under control and how this can help reduce your risk of developing
complications from diabetes
- How you can work with your health care team towards having the control you want, with proper diet, exercise and
medications including insulin
The Centers for Disease Control estimates that more than 20 million Americans have diabetes — six million of whom are
unaware they have the disease. The American Diabetes Association recommends that, in general, people with diabetes
strive for an A1C (a test that assesses average blood glucose levels over a two- to three-month period) less than 7%.
Alarmingly, more than 50% of people with diabetes are not in control of their disease. Even worse, a 2005 survey
commissioned by the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists found that 84% of type 2 diabetes patients
surveyed believed they were doing a good job controlling their blood sugar even though 61% went on to say they did not
know what an A1C test is.
If you or someone you know is struggling with diabetes or has an A1C that is not under control, the A1C Champions® can
provide motivation to take those first steps towards better blood sugar control. Diabetes patients need to know they are
not alone and there are people like Curtis Story who can help them along their journey with diabetes.
