HELP ME with my Diabetes Project

Hello Everyone,

I’m currently working on a project that blends of personal life (diabetes blogger) with my professional life (a university professor) and I’m asking for your help. If you have ever seen a film or play or television show or read a book that had a diabetic character in it or mentioned diabetes, please put the title in a comment at the end of this blog post.

Thanks for your assistance.

Here are some examples of what I need.

Here’s a link to a PDF of several movies, not sure if you already ran across this or not:

My sis said Big Momma on Soul Food was diabetic (she thinks).

Hope this helps.

Thanks Erica, I hadn’t seen the post, so thanks VERY much for the link!

I hope some people will also suggest books too.

Yeah, Big Mama was diabetic in Soul Food. Have you ever seen the boondocks spoof of Soul Food?

  No, I haven’t watched any boondocks episodes.

I’ll skip the popular films like Chocolat and Panic Room.

There’s a lovely British film called Broken.

I’ve just watched the film Seconds Apart. There’s Layover (don’t ask me why I watched that film), Hansel and Gretel, Con Air, Derailed, Godfather III.

Good luck on your project.

Thank You Dr. Phyllisa Deroze,
It was a pleasure to feature your story on our website, weblog for the month of your birth June. It meant a lot to us for you to have won first place. That video of yours blew people away. They are begging for more. It made a few people a little mad, I wondered why would they get mad and as I continued reading I found out it was because they thought it was too short. LOL I just wanted to thank you for sharing your story How I Survived…….. on Alive To Tell. http://www.alivetotell.com
