“I’m living a life with diabetes, but I’m not letting it stop me.” – Gary Valenciano

One famous Filipino who is inflicted with this is Gary Valenciano. The country’s “Mr. Pure Energy” shares how he almost lost his life due to diabetes on “I Survived” this Thursday (Oct 1) on ABS-CBN.

Gary has been battling Type 1 Juvenile Diabetes since he was 14 years old. His wife, Angeli and kids have been witnesses to many of his attacks, and to almost 90,000 insulin injections in his lifetime. But in 2005, no one was prepared for his worst hypoglycemic attack.
