Gloria Loring is best known as one of the stars of Days of Our Lives. She's also a sensational singer, a music composer, spokesperson for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, and an author. Her latest book is entitled, Living With Type 2 Diabetes, Moving Past the Fear.

Dr. Lisa says, "Your son was diagnosed with diabetes when he was just four years old. It must have been so scary to hear those words, 'your son has diabetes.'"

Gloria says, "Yeah, it was very frightening because I knew nothing about diabetes. I didn't know what caused it. I didn't know how to treat it. But I did have a sense that it was very serious. And of course there were a lot of tears and there was worry, fear, some anger, 'why my son?' And that's why I named this book, Moving Past the Fear."
