#Gleaner #Diabetes #LancelotHarris FEBRUARY 5, 2021: Lancelot Harris lost his mother to diabetes as a teen. Then his father died from the same health condition. And in a bid to save his own life, he lost both his legs. Diagnosed with diabetes at age 20, doctors had warned him that he was at risk of losing his legs. He was devastated when the doctor told him he was indeed going to lose his legs. After losing his left leg, he didn’t want to go back, but his adoptive mother encouraged him by saying that she would rather have a piece of him than none at all.
