The problem is though, when someone with diabetes dies, hospitals/coroners won't take the time to see if they truely died from the diabetes or another reason. You have a heart attack and are diabetic and die, you died from diabetes.

All you can really do is call each company and see what they say. I think the ADA also has some info on their website pertaining to this topic with links for further information.

Hmmmm, just what folks with type 1 or newly diagnosed with type 1 want to hear. Ignorant, malinformed depressing, false statements. Please cite the literature that states ***50**** percent of type 1s die from related complications. I hope I misunderstood your quote. Its hard enough fending off ignorance from the outside world but in a forum like this its worse!
