Awareness Managing Diabetes (NAPSA)—Angie Stone is fearless. Fearless when it comes to managing her diabetes, that is. What many people don’t know is that the Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter has been successfully managing type 2 diaze betes for the past nine years. Now she’s proud to say that she has her condition under control and is in a great place in herlife both Stone professionally and —\ physically. In an effort to help the AfricanAmerican community, which is disproportionately affected by diabetes, Ms. Stone has teamed up with Eli Lilly and Company to launch the national Fearless African-Americans Connected and Empowered (F.A.C.E.) Diabetes campaign to encourage African- Americans to take control of and learn how to better manage their disease. Developed with insights from African-Americans with diabetes, physicians and various national and local health advocacy organi- zations, the F.A.C.E. Diabetes campaign aims to foster behavioral and attitudinal changes in areas critical to success in diabetes management, such as nutrition/cooking, exercise and health. The national F.A.C.E. Diabetes campaign features a series of events taking place throughout the year in multiple cities, including Chicago, Atlanta, Washington, D.C. and Indianapolis.
