“I am at an age where I should be at my prime, but instead, I feel that my health is declining … I hope this inspires people to remember to take care of themselves, and that their health and well-being should come first. School, work, bills, etc. and more can always wait, but your health won’t. It is better to be proactive than reactive and that is something I truly regret, but it’s OK, because it is never too late to start taking care of yourself.” — Nika Eang, 22-year-old student at Rutgers University, on her blog after being diagnosed last year with type 2 diabetes
