Cedric Williams, who is diabetic and suffered a stroke at age 43, speaks to the audience following Secretary Thompson's remarks announcing a new survey revealing that 68 percent of people with diabetes are not aware of their increased risk for heart disease and stroke. Following his stroke, Mr. Williams lost 150 pounds (down from 350) and adapted a healthier diet and exercise regimen. Today, he walks 10 miles a day and no longer needs insulin shots. (Flanking Mr. Williams from left to right: Christopher D.
