Diabetes has always been a mystery to me. My grandpa had it and i always wondered what the machine was used for and what those numbers meant. But as i got older i started asking more questions and realized exactly what diabetes was. Turned out my grandpa has type 2 diabetes. So a simple diet and a some pills work out for him. Unfortunately my Little sister was diagnosed with type 1 (otherwise known as infantile) diabetes at the age of four. From then on diabetes effects me, my diet, my entire house hold in virtually every aspect.
Hearing rumors about there being a cure in Canada but that the U.S. government paid them off to keep the cure locked up only infuriates me. I know its a rumor and it has a 75% chance of it being untrue, but the fact that if that were to occur and a cure is really out there, I wouldn't doubt that the U.S would do that. The Diabetic industry is so massive that it brings in a ridiculous amount of money, jobs, and multi millionaire/billionaire corporations.
So a more realistic view on a cure or somewhat of a remedy would be An Artificial Pancreas. This would be the closest thing to a real pancreas and would both check the glucose level and distribute insulin when needed. The risk is what society is debating about.

This is really interesting to me too because diabetes runs on my mom's side of the family. My uncle and both of my grandparents have it while my little brother is at risk. I definitely do not want to see him diagnosed with it because he's so young. When you're young you're also supposed to eat whatever you want! If you learn and post anything else on diabetes let me know!
ReplyDeleteYou never really know what goes on behind closed doors in the government...
