Don't get me wrong, in some way I am grateful as well for the "control" I am allowed to have, which is made possible by the medical world, however, I have health insurance and luckily am able to afford the extras; extra testing supplies and syrignes, that they don't provide me enough of. But what about those who don't have health insurance, those who can't afford these things? Do you think better delivery systems are being made so you can live better? Or so you and your insurance can pay more because the research they produce says these delivery systems will allow you to lower your A1C by 5% which will in turn lower your % of death by 3%, which will in turn save the insurance company money sending you to the hospital. It's very confusing in my head I know that much, yeah I'm thankful, but if only those of us who posted in this forum were diabetic, believe me there would be no "control" and nobody working on a cure. It would be just us and Montel Williams. (He has that talk show where he always brings on random people with diseases you never heard of, which have no treatment or hope).

Preach on duck, although I pray to god someone with a lot of money can disprove what you say the future holds.
