For over 20 years, Ricky Fritz struggled with diabetes, initially ignoring his diagnosis until it led to a toe amputation. That wake-up call led him to seek specialized care, and that’s when he found U.S. Diabetes Care.

​

Through their guidance, Ricky learned how to manage his condition without feeling restricted. He lost weight, gained control over his blood sugar, and discovered how simple lifestyle changes could transform his health. With support from the team, he overcame his fears of change, started using a Dexcom glucose monitor, and steadily reduced his insulin dependence. Today, at 61, he’s back on stage performing as an Elvis tribute artist—something he thought was no longer possible.​

​

You can do it too. U.S. Diabetes Care provides the knowledge and support to help you take control of your diabetes and transform your life.

If he can do it, why can't you?
