I am often asked why we though that we could make a difference in the health care system. It reminds me of the story of the little boy on the beach throwing starfish back into the ocean. Which one of you, knowing that you could do something to improve the lives of people with diabetes, would do nothing. My family has been blessed by the profound rewards of Functional Insulin Treatment for our little boy, Tyler. Diabetes affects an overwhelming population of 16,000,000 Americans.
FIT is worth the journey.
Together we can make positive change happen. I am especially grateful to Drs. Howorka, Khan, and Peterson for hearing the call for help from the people, and answering. Dr. Kinga Howorka is an internal medicine specialist working in diabetology on new models of education and treatment for secondary prevention in chronic diseases at the Institute of Biomedical Engineering, University of Vienna. She is recipient of the Stephen-Shuy Award of the Austrian Association of Biomedical Engineering, University of Vienna, one of the highest honors for respective publications.
