I wonder if there are any diabetics, whether you have had diabetes for a year or 35 years, that wouldn t be ecstatic if a cure would finally be found. But that s the problem.
Diabetics don t say it.
Control is good and keeps us alive. Instead of spending 165 million dollars on a study to prove that better control reduces complications, research money needs to focus more on finding a cure. After all, if we could always maintain good control, it would be similar to not being a diabetic, so, of course, it would reduce complications. God knows I do not want to scare anyone, especially new diabetics, but only when everyone recognizes that diabetes is truly a serious disease, will anyone take it seriously. I m not saying that there are not countless other horrible diseases that act much faster and on the surface, appear much worse.
