[Diabetes-talk] talking insulin pump remote: Pump Mate

I totally agree with Diane:

It is not the governments fault, the medical fields fault, etc.

They are working hard at it, there are more things now then there was almost 
50 years ago with Diabetes.  But a cure I don't think there will ever be a 
cure.  There are preventative measures if you are an adult and a parent to 
control what we eat and our kids eat, to prevent type 2, but type one is 
another story, and it effects ever single muscle, nerve, all the systems of 
the body.

I think that Debbie is just upset about diabetes.  I wasn't happy when it 
took 80% of my vision in 2001 and my big toe and my kidneys, but I have 
become a better more understanding person.  You can live with it, you just 
have to take care of yourself and getting stressed over it will make it 
worse.  We are here to support one another.

Debbie, we will always disagree with something on this list or agree and we 
mostly agree then disagree.  To help those and educate those about blindness 
and diabetes.

Diabetes in some form will always be hear, gestational which is during 
pregnancy, adult onset and you got to remember we are not machines, and that 
parts break down when we abuse them.  We also cannot control our history. 
We grandfather had it, his father had it.  I have it my daughter had it, and 
it is a characteristic in my family like blindness is a part of me now.

God bless you Debbie, if you are stressed it raises your blood sugar and 
your blood pressure.

Peace.
