Type-2 diabetes can have big impacts on everyday life. For Keenya Taylor, managing the disease has become an all-consuming mission to stay healthy

Sunflowers are everywhere in Keenya Taylor’s cozy northeast side kitchen.
They line the curtains framing the window above her farmhouse sink. They hang as kitchen towels draped over her stove handle and brighten the kitchen mat that reads, “This Is Home.”
“Sunflowers make me happy. You need something happy when you’re dealing with this disease,” she said while counting out pills from five bottles to manage her Type 2 diabetes.
Taylor, 52, plans out every second of every minute, from the time she wakes up at 4 a.m. to the time she goes to bed exactly an hour after dinner. Her diabetes doesn’t leave much room for spontaneity.

It's so easy to reason, like a little kid in this case. It's about when the adults who were children didn't have to take a certain medication to live long and prosper.

We need help with a project to help Ukrainians with scars because of the war. I am not writing from my profile so as not to be blocked. We want to buy devices for free assistance to Ukrainians in Kharkov, I am a doctor, now I work as a master and cosmetologist. My profile is Permanent & Laser by Petrunko, there is a description in my profile or information in Ukrainian on the channel by Petrunko. The value of the devices is not small, I understand that raising $16,000 here is fantastic! but I hope that we can collect a small part in order to buy inexpensive equipment, with which we can already begin to help Ukrainians and military personnel with scars. this is a big problem that is not developing in my country! Thank you for your understanding, from all Ukrainians!
