The August Diabetes Forecast magazine arrived in my mailbox, today. On the front cover was Poison frontman, Bret Michael. Maybe someone at the American Diabetes Association really does reading my blog. In the past few months, I’ve posted several times about the delicate balance you must attain right before you throw a type 1 diabetic onto a hot stage.

Bret Michaels expands on my legacy of “rockin’ out with your pump out”, especially since the debut of his “looking for love” VH1 reality show, “Rock of Love”. Watch out Scott Baio! Bret has awesome 80s legacy tats, and an endless selection of tattered hats and do-rags. All the younger-than-him reality tv groupies love that, so it seems.

Bret was diagnosed at age 6, and, in his interview, gave credit to his father’s advice on dealing with life. So, whether you love or hate Spandex, Bret Michaels does nothing half-way, and works hard to control his diabetes.

So, check out his show. Check out the article in the August 2007 Diabetes Forecast. And, Bret, I’ll see you somewhere between 80 and 120 milligrams per deciliter.
