Welcome Bob Hawkinson to the SugarStats Community
Posted on: Monday, May 12th, 2008 at 12:41 pm
We’d like to welcome Bob Hawkinson of JoyofDiabetes.com as the newest writer for the SugarStats.com Blog. Bob has had to deal with and manage diabetes on a daily basis for 45 years and takes a pro-active approach to his diabetes management.
Bob takes a positive outlook on it all and it reflects refreshingly in his writing style. We welcome him to the blog and look forward to his future contributions to educate, inspire and help inform diabetics and non-diabetics alike world-wide.
Be sure to check out his book: “The Joy of Diabetes”.
Here is a little bit more about Bob:
“Bob’s account of his life with diabetes is a testimony to the truth that people with this chronic illness can lead very joyful, fulfilling lives. He focuses primarily on his accomplishments in a way that is uplifting to the reader.At the same time he acknowledges that he must constantly prepare himself to manage his diabetes in whatever direction his life’s journey takes him. Bob demonstrates that people with diabetes can pursue whatever they want as long as preparation is made to handle the special needs of their blood sugar in that circumstance. By taking a pro-active approach to the management of his diabetes, he is a positive example for diabetics and all the people who love them. He stays one step ahead of his blood sugar through constant trial and error. At times it is a struggle but a fight well worth fighting. In his own words, “the management of diabetes is a marathon, not a sprint.”

Hello Bob!
My apologies for not reaching out to you sooner. Daerick (President of SugarStats) and I have been traveling around on behalf of SugarStats since March and I’m just getting back to sorting out mail and emails here at the HQ of SugarStats (Volcano, Big Island of Hawaii). [The pile of mail I picked up at our post office was the shape of a small volcano…]
As the director of communications may I say a very tardy, but wholly felt: Welcome! Welcome! Welcome!
Thanks for being a wonderful contribution to the Diabetes Community both here at SugarStats and through your own network(s). We are grateful to have you on the team.
Please call on me if I can be of service to you anytime.
