A work-related injury further limited his physical capabilities and he suddenly found his health moving in a downward spiral. “I started gaining weight and my fight with diabetes started to get really tough.” With better-focused education from his healthcare team and the added support of other patients, Barlow now feels like he is taking more control of his health.
