Name for Diabetes Documentary

[Doetsch]

I just wanted to let everyone know that I have appreciated everyones input up to this point. I want a name for this Documentary so I can stop referring to it as "Diabetes Documentary". If everyone is interested I would like all the members to have a chance to name it!

How it Will Work:

I have some options as part of a Poll that you can vote on.

If you have your own in mind, Post it and it can be included in the voting.

The option that has the most Votes/Feedback will be the name of the Documentary :)

Thanks again and I just wanted everyone to have some part in the Documentary even if it is this small.

How about "Highs and Lows: The Rollercoaster of Living with Diabetes"?

I saw a chilling piece on diabetes done by the CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Company) called, now get this:

"Death in Pieces - Diabetes"

Or something along that line.

You can google it and see the clip on the site.

It turns out it is actually an affirmative piece, that it is controllable and you can live a normal life.

But the man interviewed was quoted as saying, "my Doctor told me diabetes was, "death in pieces", that if not treated, I would die blind, in the dark, of kidney failure after having my feet amputated."

It's an excellent piece and worth watching for background info...

Still though, the title still sends chills through me and I can't get the image out of my head...wonder why I"m still getting either angry or depressed about this since being dx'd.

Sheesh...

OK - just googled it and here is the link....enjoy:

Don't let Big Sugar stick it to YOU!!!

[archimeech]

Everybody has a killer in their family

.....diabetes.....

[archimeech]

[B]But you take insulin, aren't you all ready cured?

Sorry, I didn't think of all these at the same time. :)

Legalized Drug Addicts
and their fight against the Big Medical Pusher Man

You could make it a homage to Superfly one of the original blackspoiltation/docudrama cult classics. I just love the soundtrack and would love to see some Curtis Mayfield make it back to the screen.

Or you could even get some 70's graphics and call it:

SugarFly

[koblenz]

Hmmmmmm....... How about....

"The Sweet Life: Surviving and Thriving with Diabetes; or How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Needle".

... oh wait... that second part may have already been used. So I should just shorten it up to:

"The Sweet Life: Surviving and Thriving with Diabetes"

Both Added:

10. The Sweet Life: Surviving and Thriving with Diabetes
11. The Sweet Life: How I learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Needle.

That is allowed. I know it's from Dr. Stranglove: How I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb. This is not Plaguerism(sp?) and would be okay for a title.

Feel free veryone to use variations if wanted. (I.E. - "The Sweet Life" or "Big Sugar") This might become a long list.... What have I started...LoL :)

[Dewey]

Hi Doetsch,

Hope I'm not too late to the party....:stupido2: (have been busy with college...). I have an idea for the name of your documentarty:

"Discovering Diabetes"

I figured this might be a good name, because people who may be unaware about the different aspects of Diabetes would be discovering them as the documentary unfolds.....Just a thought. :thumbsup:

"No Added Sugar" !!! :D

poo im too late :( lol

[pebbles]

hello I am pebbles in this forum I think that people need to know more about living as adults with complications of diabetes like ex: polyneuropathy, musculoskeletal problems living with pain from this diabetes complications that are not mentioned often and alot of diabetics have this problems at a youg age 30's 40's also looking into the truth about man made insulins telling the truth about them you should look into consulting www.iddtinternational.org pharmaceutical industries only care about money not about the diabetic population analogue insulins have a potential of carcinogenic complications not good its time they tell the truth it should not be exceptable to diabetics having by no choice to take insulin everyday i do hope you look into this and bringing this to the forfront of your documentry I have tried myself to call the media here in canada on the truth about analogue insulins carcinogenic"cancer causing agents" with the pharmaceutical companies to tell the truth about it "everybody in the industry are scared to speak out or telling the truth about it you can find out more about this subject at www.iddtinternational.org it is time the diabetic population know the truth about this the pharmaceutical companies are getting away with this. The only way to stop this from happening is for diabetics to know the truth and to fight for there rights and have long term study on any new insulins put on the market. best of luck hope to see your documentry pebbles!

[crazy8]

That's what I'd name the documentary. Sugar-Free.

Cheers.
