Connie Bennett, star blogger of Sugar Shock Blog has posted a little piece on the website the Common Voice, originally posted on her own site. Bennett directs readers to a Contact Music profile of move producer Harvey Weinstein and says diabetics should all look to him for inspiration on diabetes self-management.

So, what's the big whoop about Weinstein? Well, Weinstein (who directed films like "Chicago" and "The English Patient") was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes in 2004. Instead of relying (entirely) on a battery of drugs to help him deal, Weinstein decided to make some really big lifestyle changes. You know, those healthy-type changes that doctors and guilt-inducing health articles are always pushing. Weinstein has lost more than eighty pounds through good diet and exercise. Bottom line: no more gorging on sugary foods, I guess. Of course, this is Bennett's interpretation of Weinstein's story. I have not found the full version in Weinstein's own words. But he certainly looks slimmer and trimmer!
