Thats a brutal article.

on one side - maybe more people can get assistance, it will incourage more reasearch and government grants. but it is creepy in a way.

BUT, wouldn't time and money be better spent on health and nutrition education to America's youth, so if they get this disease, they have an easier time dealing with it? eliminate predjudices with education?

on the other side, I sometimes feel very bitter that a type 2 I see everyday scarfs down donuts daily at Tim Hortens, drinks high fat iced cappucinnos that are pre-made and high in sugar, and east whatever they feel like it, and is extremely overweight without any shown effort to control their diabetes. They are always complaining about health problems, but are either too scared or too ignorant of the dangers to change their lifestyle. It makes me angry that people are working hard (maybe not hard enough, eh?)to help someone like that, and maybe they need the extra pushing to be healthy.

Whats next, denial of health care coverage because you got your blood sugars high from eating birthday cake?

But I am way up here in Canada, so our goverment and privacy legislation is different.
