WATCH BEN'S STORY
Take the Stage for Diabetes Awareness is a national awareness campaign
designed to educate people living with diabetes and their families about their condition
and the importance of diabetes awareness. Tony Award-winning actor and Broadway
star Ben Vereen is partnering with sanofi-aventis U.S., a world leader in diabetes
care, to urge others living with diabetes to commit to managing their blood sugar
levels properly. Diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in 2007, Mr. Vereen knows an essential
first step for diabetes management and blood sugar control is finding a doctor that
will work with you to find the best diabetes treatment plan for you.
Mr. Vereen shares his personal story along with expert advice from Dr. Steven Edelman.
Together they offer tips designed to aid conversations with doctors. The Take the
Stage for Diabetes Awareness campaign encourages people living with diabetes
to take an active role in their health, make it a top priority and overcome fears
they may have about available treatment options.
Don't let diabetes stop you from doing the things that you love. Take the Stage
and act on your diabetes today!
