| Can we blame people for the fear of diagnosis? Sure, we all know it is important to manage this disease. However, once one has the big D on their medical record, insurance companies will refuse to insure.
Then there is the fear of discrimination against the diabetic. If this did not exist, the big D would not be listed under the ADA.
Doctors are defintely a problem. Everyone should be tested for Diabetes as they for high blood pressure or cholesterol. We should make it easier for those who struggle to at least have the basics (strips, lancets, and meter for low costs). Unfortunately, the cost to eat correct with the D is quite expensive. |
