Tammy and Jason's daughter was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes a few years ago.  Tammy is a huge fan of Poison, and appreciates Bret's involvement and contributions to the diabetes community.  Tammy and a friend went to a recent concert at a Casino not too far away from the Twin Cities.  After the concert Tammy told the guy checking VIP tickets about her daughter having diabetes and how she loves what Bret is doing, he let her through (even though she didn't have backstage passes).She got to meet Bret, take this great picture, and had him autograph a shirt for her ...

People reports that he “may have broken his nose and busted his lip during a scenery-related malfunction” at the Tony’s. Bret is known as being the frontman for the rock group Poison, but not as many people know that he is also a Type 1 diabetic. He was just six years old when he was first diagnosed, and he’s now had the disease for 40 years. Injuries like Bret experienced at the Tony’s need to be especially watched for infection and that they are healing properly. This would be the case for any diabetic.

I love the Internet. All you wanted to know - and then some! - about rocker Bret Michaels and his experiences with Type 1 diabetes can be found at DiabetesHealth. No, wait! Don't leave. I swear, this is really quite interesting reading.Michaels (44) is the longtime vocalist with the campy hair metal band "Poison," most famous for the weepy 1988 power ballad "Every Rose Has its Thorn." Don't laugh. The guy has sold 25 million albums. Anyway, about the diabetes: Michaels was diagnosed with the condition at age six. The early diagnosis, Michaels says, was a blessing in disguise in that he grew up accepting it as part and parcel of everyday life. He remembers going to insulin shock at least four times as a child, and recalls one incident when his father, afra...
