It isn't just diabetes. The medical industrial complex is indeed very, very strong. All other medically driven diseases face the same issues. Compare diabetes with cancer and you will see similar frustrations. The public and corporate donations support a high percentage of administrative costs. Both diseases support a medically driven industry that really can't "afford" and really isn't motivated to hang themselves by finding a cure unless it has economic potential.
