Plan to Prevent or Reduce Cancer

Joanne brown whips up a healthy dinner most nights of the week.

Husband Al is only too happy to dig in.

Al loves corn but knows he has to watch his starches and carbs.

>> The bad food is like a pizza, you eat, a slice or two slices of pizza [SOUND] up it goes.

>> For the past 15 years, Al has struggled with Type II diabetes.

He's been on insulin, starting with pills, then moving to shots to control his blood sugar.

>> When you're doing different things during the day, maybe you're a little forgetful.

And there are times when I do forget.

>> If they're on pills, compliance is easier.

But shots before each meal makes them difficult to comply.

>> Dr Yoo says an insulin treatment that is easier to administer has become a priority for some patients.

No need to carry a cooler with insulin or needles.

>> You made a great improvement.

>> Yes, I did. >> Do you think V-Go is a help to you?

>> For the past year, Al Brown has been using the V-Go insulin patch.

The V-Go is a small water proof patch placed on the body, a patient clicks to deliver a unit of insulin into the skin.

>> You push it and that's where the needle penetrates your stomach, if you will.

Pretty painless, really.

>> Al refills the insulin and changes the patch daily.

He says it's one way to assist him with insulin control and not gamble with his health.
