Bayer Diabetes Care Names 'Walk In Nick's Shoes' (W.I.N.S.) Sweepstakes Grand Prize Winners
Date:10/30/2008

sharing our stories with each other, I hope that we can find more ways to inspire and motivate others to manage their diabetes."

Nick understands that so many of the approximately 150,000 young adults with type 1 and type 2 diabetes in the U.S. may feel embarrassed about their condition, and he is striving to change that perception by sharing his own story. Nick, diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at age 13, wants to inspire other young people with diabetes to achieve Simple Wins: small, everyday victories for managing the disease that can lead to big differences over time. For Nick and his demanding schedule, that means using the CONTOUR(R) blood glucose meter with new testing features that allow him to personalize it to match his lifestyle.

To learn more about Nick's personal experience with diabetes and to read his blog about his latest activities, young people and their families can log on to http://www.NicksSimpleWins.com.
