More than half of all Americans are living with a chronic condition, yet little is known or discussed about the issues people face and how they cope. In this short film three Zume Life users share the daily challenges of living with a chronic condition and talk about how Zume Life helps them. Their stories bust the prevailing myths of individuals as passive recipients of medical care who are uninterested in improving their health. As you see in the video these are active, vibrant people that are proactively involved in self-care and are seeking ways to optimize their health so that they can live well.
Meet users as they share their stories:
- Rainbow, age 64, has type 2 diabetes and is just coming to grips with what living with diabetes means.
- Cherie, age 60 has Scleroderma and aspires to maintain her active lifestyle despite debilitating bouts of pain.
- Riley, age 12, has Diabetes but just wants to be a normal kid and his family is striving hard to make that possible.
