From Business Inquirer?..
With their bright smiles and infectious sense of humor, one would be hard put to know that Camilla Rossil and Benny Schatz have been living with diabetes for several decades.
Recently, Rossil marked a special milestone. ?I marked my 30th anniversary with diabetes this year and I invited my friends and family to champagne brunch just to celebrate,? she said.
?I think I?ll live to be 105 years old,? she said.
Rossil, 35, was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes when she was 4, while Schatz, 63, was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes when he was 38.
In the sharing session that was laced with laughter and jokes, Rossil and Schatz told anecdotes about their lives as diabetics.
?I love to challenge myself and my diabetes?just because I can,? Rossil said, adding that when she was younger, she felt restricted by her condition. ?Right now, I love to travel and to go on survival trips just because I can, and because I have learned so much about myself and my diabetes,? she said.
Despite suffering an illness that has them tied to lifelong medication and suffering a series of complications, their outlook on life remains as positive as ever.
?Right now, I think my life is amazing,? said Rossil, a social educator specializing in sports who deals with children aged 1 to 6 years. She spoke to a group of journalists from all over the world at Steno Diabetes Center here last week.
