QUOTE FROM A FORMER NFL PLAYER

I am not a football fan so I have no idea where Mike Golic played football. I do know he is a type 2 diabetic whose father was also a type 2 and he has two sons he hopes can avoid diabetes. He makes his diabetes diagnoses and progress a family affair. All of us diabetics know we can slip up at times and see our numbers go up. That is why I like this quote from Mr. Golic: "If my numbers aren't the greatest, I'll take it as a challenge. I physically put that number somewhere, look at it, and say: OK, next time it has to be better." Good advice, Mike!
