Conquering Diabetes | In Our Words | Walgreens

The numbers are staggering: Black Americans are twice as likely as their white counterparts to die of diabetes. Earl Sewell is determined to counter that trend. The 53-year-old suffered from many diabetes complications, including vision lapse and fainting spells. But he was able to reverse his diabetes in just a few years, becoming a road-biking vegan who, in his words, is “living my best life while I have it.” Earl’s turnaround story is an inspiration for all. This is episode 2 of the second season of Walgreens “In Our Words” series documenting the most urgent issues of health equity affecting major portions of the US population. To view them all, check out our playlist.
