\"Amelia
Two-year-old Julianna has a bright and healthy future ahead, thanks to her mom, Amelia Quiroga, and the TODAY study conducted by researchers at The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio.<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Amelia Quiroga was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes when she was 16 years old and immediately enrolled in the TODAY study at the UT Health Science Center San Antonio<\/a>. Three of her five siblings also have diabetes. During the course of the study, Amelia became a mother, which has since changed her view of the disease and how she cares for herself and her daughter, Julianna, 2. Today, Amelia is 24, studying to be a radiology technician and working as a dispatcher for a towing company. “Because of my family history and what I learned from the TODAY study, I know my daughter has a 75 percent chance of developing diabetes,” she said. “Even though I\u2019m busy, I take time to look at the nutritional value of everything my daughter and I eat. I want her to be healthy and diabetes free for the long run.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
