Diabetes (Score 1)

As the parent of a child with Type 1 diabetes...It is "NOT easy to manage by any means". The technology has made it better but thats where it ends. Try to go to bed wondering if you child is going to be OK in the morning or wonder how his blood glocose is affecting him daily no matter how well you think its being "managed". Your an uneducated idiot...Try to tell your kid that he cannot have a simple glass of orange juice in the morning or anytime of day for that matter, or have to stop him in the middle of playing some activity to check his glucose levels, as they are shaking/trembing telling you he feels fine when its apparent that he is not. My wife and I have not had a solid nights sleep since he was diagnosed at just before his second bithday (nice gift) he is now five. I could go on and on (seizures, coma, shock) "NOT SO EASY TO MANAGE"...Sports teams are managed not diseases.....and most importantly .... Hate to say this but there is no money in finding a cure...there will never be any cure so long as there is money to be made. The pharmaceutical companies in the US are too powerful. Take a moment and think about this it if you are educated enough you will know this to be true. Think about the all the monies raised over the years for any given disease (billions per year do some research but I warn you it gets ugly seeing how much money is raised with very little or no improvements whatsoever)...have they found one cure for anything? the answer is NO...the only chance anyone has in finding a cure lies with stem cells and we all know where thats going...nowhere fast...unless you live in Europe leaps and bounds being made in the are of stem cell research (and please don't post a reply telling me to move that would be stupid and show your lack of any education).
