Hi, I’m Amy.
MIRA
Hello, I’m Mira!
RODNEY
I’m Rodney, nice to meet you! This is exciting we have a lot of dancing to do!
PAUL
I’m leaving.
[Paul, Mira, Rodney and Amy laugh]
PAUL
Voiceover:
I would say that most people know us because of our acting careers,
On camera:
but what people still may not know is that I have type 2 diabetes.
Voiceover:
We want to help people with diabetes understand the importance of a support system, in
addition to their doctor-recommended treatment plan. So Mira and
On camera:
I are going to be each other’s dance partners.
[Background dance noises]
Voiceover:
Staying active may not always be easy but I have found it‘s important to find something
On camera:
you truly enjoy doing, because it makes it easier to keep the commitment.
RODNEY
I’m Rodney Lopez.

AMY
And I am Amy Klewitz.

RODNEY

On camera:
And, I’m really excited about this project because

Voiceover:
I’ve really been encouraged to see how dedicated and committed Paul has been to not
only doing the dance, but to staying active.

MIRA
On camera:
I love dancing and I love dancing with dad and I just thought it would be so much fun
Voiceover:
if we just were able to show people that
On camera:
you can exercise together, but in maybe an unconventional way.
PAUL
The great thing about dancing is that there are so many styles. It, it helps to avoid the
boredom, and keeps things fun while you’re getting exercise.
[Background dance noise]
PAUL
On camera:
I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in 2006, and I know firsthand the challenges trying
to maintain blood sugar control.
Voiceover:
I use Lantus® in the Lantus® SoloSTAR® pen once a day as part of my overall
treatment plan – which also includes a healthy diet, regular physical activity and one oral
diabetes medication. Low blood sugar is a common side effect with insulin, including
Lantus®, and some people may experience symptoms like shaking or sweating.
[On-screen super at Lantus® mention: Prescription Lantus® is a long-acting insulin used
to treat adults with type 2 diabetes and adults and children (6 years and older) with type
1 diabetes for the control of high blood sugar. It should be taken once a day at the same

This is like creating a memory with dad.

PAUL
Voiceover:
Mira and I continue our work
On-camera:
with sanofi-aventis U.S. on Diabetes Co-Stars.
Voiceover:
It’s an awareness campaign for people with diabetes and those who love them.
RODNEY
Rock, step. Rock, step…like so.

MIRA
Voiceover:
Through Diabetes Co-Stars, we’ve been able to communicate with so many people, but
we’re still trying to reach
On-camera:
more of the nearly 26 million Americans who have diabetes and those who support
them.
RODNEY
Dah…boom boom. One, two, three; one, two, three. And slow, to the side.

Important Safety Information for LANTUS®
Do not take LANTUS® if you are allergic to insulin or any of the inactive ingredients in
LANTUS®.
You must test your blood sugar levels while using insulin, such as LANTUS®. Do not
make any changes to your dose or type of insulin without talking to your healthcare
provider. Any change of insulin should be made cautiously and only under medical
supervision.
Do NOT dilute or mix LANTUS® with any other insulin or solution. It will not work as
intended and you may lose blood sugar control, which could be serious. LANTUS® must
only be used if the solution is clear and colorless with no particles visible. Do not share
needles, insulin pens or syringes with others.

The most common side effect of insulin, including LANTUS®, is low blood sugar
(hypoglycemia), which may be serious. Some people may experience symptoms
such as shaking, sweating, fast heartbeat, and blurred vision. Severe hypoglycemia may
be serious and life threatening. It may cause harm to your heart or brain. Other possible
side effects may include injection site reactions, including changes in fat tissue at the
injection site, and allergic reactions, including itching and rash. In rare cases, some
allergic reactions may be life threatening.
Tell your doctor about other medicines and supplements you are taking because they
can change the way insulin works. Before starting LANTUS®, tell your doctor about all
your medical conditions including if you have liver or kidney problems, are pregnant or
planning to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding or planning to breast-feed.

Chapter 2 - Waltz
RODNEY
So our first dance today is gonna be the waltz.
MIRA
Well you know, dad taught me the box-step when I was little, that’s one dance we did do
together.
RODNEY
So that - So that’s a dance you’re familiar with already? Alright, well that’s great. We
have a lot of work to do, so I hope you’re ready to dance.
PAUL
Ready to go!
MIRA
We’re ready to go!
RODNEY
So one of the things that’s really important before we even start dancing, is to kind of
have a little, a little bit of a warm-up, get the body warmed up a little bit, ah, so that we
can prevent any injury.
This is going to start with–
AMY
The Ginger Rogers moment!
RODNEY
- Mira walking down off the stairs. One, two; one, two.
Well with the waltz, you know you’re going to have to support each other in this dance.
PAUL
Well, we are part of something called Diabetes Co-Stars, where the family supports the
person who’s got the diabetes, in this case me. So we’re going to dance. Dancing is
really easy to do together, I mean once you know it and it’s a fun thing to do.

MIRA
On-camera:
We always loved the Fred and Ginger movies. Fred Astaire was our god when I was a
kid.
Voiceover:
So the waltz especially is gonna be so reminiscent of those memories of watching those
movies together.
PAUL
I worked with my doctor to determine the right overall treatment plan for me which
includes regular physical activity. Using dance as a form of exercise is not only good for
me; it’s great for Mira too. It makes it even better.

RODNEY
And now we’re together, we’re ready for our box-step.
MIRA
Voiceover:
I came up with the idea of us dancing together as a great extension of our
On-camera:
work with sanofi-aventis U.S. and the Diabetes Co-Stars campaign.
PAUL
Voiceover:
What people sometimes don’t realize is that you can also get exercise through activities
like dancing.
RODNEY
Voiceover:
The waltz is a really great dance for exercise, because the waltz has a rise and fall. It’s a
great
On-camera:
toning, ah, dance as well as just a beautiful, ah, music to listen to.
…and now we open up. Bring her in.
[Laughter]
MIRA
It took us about ten minutes to learn each little four count.
RODNEY
Alright, let’s cue the music. One, two, three; two, two, three.
So it’s forward, then back. A little rotation.
MIRA
Then forward again…

RODNEY
Yes…
PAUL
…then coming down the stairs…
RODNEY
Uh huh!
PAUL
Loretta Young, descending!

AMY
…and the big dip…
RODNEY
And the big finish!
MIRA
Yeah.
AMY
Great, that was great…
RODNEY
Beautiful, beautiful…beautiful. Alright, that was a good rehearsal, but now are you ready
to perform?
PAUL
Sir. Yes, that’s - that’s it!
[Laughter]
RODNEY
Let’s do it, let’s go, let’s go perform, let’s get changed and get started.
ANNOUNCER’S VOICE
And now, Mira and Paul Sorvino performing the waltz.
[Waltz Music; Paul and Mira perform]
MIRA
It was so much fun!
PAUL
It was so much fun to do this dance!
MIRA
It was just kind of a beautiful experience.
PAUL
It was.

Chapter 3 - Swing
RODNEY
On camera:
Every actor needs a really great Co-Star

Voiceover:
And so just like your dancing, you need a great partner as well. The Sorvinos have a
really great relationship together; they have a really great chemistry.
On camera:
Alright, we’re going to give you a clue about what your next dance is. Let’s see if you can
recognize it. So here’s our step: triple, triple, rock step; triple, triple and a rock step.
So what do you think you’re going to do now?
PAUL
Looks like you’re dancing the Lindy. What we used to call the Lindy.
RODNEY
Voiceover:
Yes, exactly. Lindy and also kind of known as the swing. Let’s do some swing dancing.
PAUL
Okay.
RODNEY
You ready? Here we go…
[Mira laughs]

MIRA
I think we make a pretty good dance team.
PAUL
On camera:
She’s always been one of my biggest supporters – she continues to be my Diabetes Co-
Star
Voiceover:
Which isn’t all that different from being my dance partner in support of my exercise plan!
RODNEY
Voiceover:
And belly turn, and triple.
[Paul laughs]
PAUL
Ah, forgot that, alright!

Yeah, we’ll go over that…
PAUL
On screen:
My doctor and I decided I should start using Lantus® along with an overall
Voiceover:
treatment plan that includes one oral diabetes medication, diet and physical activities like
dancing. Low blood sugar is common side effect of insulin, including Lantus®. And some
people may experience side effects like shaking or sweating.

You just kinda gotta rehearse it.

RODNEY
Voiceover:
So our next dance is salsa.
PAUL
Bye-bye.
[Paul, Mira, Rodney and Amy laugh]
RODNEY
No, no, come back, come back.
AMY
Don’t go, don’t go.
RODNEY
On camera:
It’s not so bad, it’s not so bad. Now listen, it’s the most complex of the dances we’ve
done so far.
Voiceover:
It’s the hardest but we’re going to take it one step at a time. So why don’t we start with
our first movement.
RODNEY
Yes! There we go.
[Music plays in background]
PAUL
Today’s dance is definitely the most difficult we’ve done so far. But I find that breaking it
down piece by piece makes it much easier.
It’s the same approach I take in following my diabetes treatment plan –step by step,
piece by piece.
RODNEY
Voiceover:
Yes!
AMY
Voiceover:
Keep the hand up.
RODNEY
Voiceover:
Keep the hand up; keep the right hand up, yes. One thing we can do, is we can also kind
of make this
On camera:
Happen with one hand
MIRA
And where did that just come out of?
RODNEY
It’s a lot of choreography, it’s a lot of choreography and it’s fast.
MIRA
Should we, should we dance with them?
RODNEY
Let’s switch partners, let’s switch partners and, and give it a, give it a shot.
AMY
Just use the finger tips, that’ll help.
RODNEY
Let’s come back to the wrap.
MIRA
And then that’s the [inaudible].
RODNEY
Exactly, yeah
MIRA
He gets the vibe and he can do it…

AMY
And over your head, I’m just going to turn here, tada.
RODNEY
I’ve really been encouraged to see how dedicated and committed Paul has been, to not
only doing the dance but to staying active.

PAUL
It’s the same as anything that I do, I know. It’s like with singing, acting, dancing, writing…
I, ah, have the same approach to diabetes. Anything that you have to do well, you have
to break down.
RODNEY
You’re going to lean back and kick. Kick.
PAUL
I’ve got to remember to do this so that I’m supporting her.
RODNEY
Voiceover:
So that you can leverage her support there
PAUL
On camera:
So people should speak with their doctor to determine what will work for them.
Voiceover:
My doctor and I decided that taking Lantus® in the Lantus® SoloStar® pen once a day as
part of my overall treatment plan – which also includes a healthy diet, regular physical
activity and one oral diabetes medication – was the right thing for me. Low blood sugar
is a common side effect of insulin, including Lantus®. And some people may experience

Four, two, three; five, two, three

Chapter 5 – Take a Bow

MIRA
On camera:
The part that is living up to my expectations of like creating something really special with

different styles and it’s hard enough to learn one style and be proficient at it. But that
they’re, that they’re stabbing it and going through three different styles

PAUL
Voiceover:
They’re so confident, so such good teachers and such good performers.
