[Diabetes-talk] Voice

[Joyce Porter]

I couldn't agree more.  I believe other cuts could have been made and the
"Voice" could have been left alone.  I'm afraid our support system is
beginning to collapse.  At work our diabetes educator has recommended the
"Voice to her patients.  I sure hate to tell her that it is gone.

Hi Joyce and all,
I couldn't agree more. It was quite apparent by the large number of copies
being circulated that many, many in the diabetes area or field were reading
the Voice. 

It now makes me wonder how much support I can expect to get from the NFB now
that this happened. Will the NFB be there to help us all when it comes to
fight for an accessible insulin pump, for example? How will these cutbacks
impact the DAN as an affiliate in the future? After reading Elizabeth's
message, it really makes me wonder. I sincerely hope that this does not mean
the end of the DAN and the support we as blind diabetics get through the
NFB. 

Dave

I feel so bad that there will be no more "Voice of the Diabetic".  So  many
folks have enjoyed and learned so much from this publication.  It will  be a
loss to the blind and sighted community.
