St Josemaria Escriva is the patron saint of Diabetics. He’s a good one to get.

^^ I was going to say the same one. Yes, choose St. Josemaria Escriva, the patron saint of ordinary life and diabetes. He’s my confirmation saint so I’m a little biased

I think the consensus is clear: St. Josemaria Escriva it is!

Thanks for the question and for the answers. I am diabetic, but never thought to look up the patron saint. - Joe K.
