John on Facing His Struggle with Diabetes

CC | tv-pg
John has long struggled with diabetes, but he didn't want to do anything about it at first. "I've known for a couple of years that I was diabetic, but I ignored it," he says. "It wasn't until I was nearing the level where people go into a coma that I took this thing seriously."

Here, John opens up about the everyday challenges of coping with the disease—especially his frustration with trying to get his blood sugar levels under control.
