Sometimes you take a little bit too much medicine or you exercise too much, but there’s never come a point when I’ve been in dire need of medical attention.

What have you learned about your disease since being a student? I just turned 30 this year. Look- ing back to when I was 20, I had blinders on. I have no idea how I was surviving. I see my food intake differently than when I was 20. I don’t focus on every aspect of a nutritional label. I focus only on BU evaluates effectiveness of faith programs in Dallas sugar and carbohydrate intake. I think the biggest change is probably perspective. When I was 20, I only cared about what I was doing when I was 20 years old. Now that I’m 30 I think about how if I don’t take care of my blood sugar right now, then when I’m 60 I’m going to have some huge medical problem I’m going to deal with. I’m more concerned for 60-year- old Brett right now than I am for 30-year-old Brett.
