I'm a lawyer, and I worry about supporting my family if the other eye goes. As I grow older, I know that my only long-term hope is for a cure. Even more frightening is the hereditary component of Type I diabetes. She doesn't deserve it. I would do anything to guarantee that she never has to cope with diabetes.
Information is vital, both to help diabetics manage the disease and to stay abreast of research.
We hear, in general terms, of great strides in the search for a cure. The occasional tantalizing report on some new advance is sketchy and oversimplified, with no references to background material. This is a personal anecdotal experience and should not be viewed as medical fact or advice. This information is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice. You should not use this information to diagnose or treat a health problem or disease without consulting with a qualified healthcare provider.
