| I, myself, do not have diabetes...my 11 yo daughter does.
Of course we're told..."don't worry, a cure is right around the corner".
I wish I could thoroughly believe that. I donate, I do the walks, etc. Watching her go through this for the past[5yrs in January], has been hard...the seizures, DKA, etc.
Duck, you're right, the number of commercials for medicines is unbelievable. And listening to the side effects alone makes you wonder why they are even on the market.
I have to say at the same time, I am grateful for what they have come up w/ for those w/ diabetes.
We had lost our insurance when my husband switched jobs(the cobra jumped up over 200 dollars/month...we were paying $800/month for health insurance)...and that didn't even cover the cost of her HBA1C reading...that alone is an extra $20, along w/ the $15 co-pay.
Eri, originally, DID have an endocrinologist who has diabetes also. The one she see's now does not.
I can see where you are coming from skilz...and it does make sense, but this world is so greedy, and sad to say, it seems as though they feed off those w/ illnesses...the sick make those in the pharmaceutical field all their money(and I have a cousin in that field).
I'm probably not making much sense here...my mind is all jumbled from the week I've had, but I hope I am making some sense.
I pray for the cure to come about soon...I would LOVE to see not only my daughter, but ALL w/ diabetes cured(along w/ all the other diseases out there...and I know that is "pollyannish", but it's ok to dream).
I'll shut up now!!!
