Living on the Bright Side with Thad Novak
“Whenever I start feeling as if it’s unfair that I have to take so many shots and test my blood so many times a day, I think of people who have it worse. At least my disease is one I can fight by trying to eat right and manage well. Looking on the bright side helps.”
Wow! That I am so impressed. If all my patients I’d treated in the past had that kind of attitude the would have done much better. Thad is a great example for his peers. I know it’s tough having to eat different than your friends, and poke yourself so many times a day to check your blood sugar. He will be blessed with less complications than those patients that don’t follow the recommendations and watch their diet exercise and keep close track of their glucose levels. What I’d like to elaborate on the most is your last sentence about looking on the bright side.

Positive Thinking Improves Health
"Whenever I start feeling as if it's unfair that I have to take so many shots and test my blood so many times a day, I think of people who have it worse. At least my disease is one I can fight by trying to eat right and manage well. Looking on the bright side helps." This quote is from Thad Novak a thirteen year old diabetic who spoke out on Save the Child Blog last week. His mother New York Times Best Selling Author Brenda Novak gives a great example of doing something positive about a health problem to effect change. She is hosting the sixth annual on-line auction for Diabetes Research.
