Well, because "diabetes" is a generic term that describes the symptoms of a disease, rather than the etiology (origin), diabetes blogger Kerri Morrone suggested that we use this day to clarify the distinction and make it clear that not all "cures for diabetes" or "new diabetes drugs" benefit the type 1 community.Can't Type 1 Diabetes Be Controlled?That really depends on how you define "control".

Learn about diabetic diets, especially if you’re the one preparing the food. 2.  Learn about your family member’s  medical needs. 3.  When your family member resides in a nursing home, make sure you note this on the forms you fill out.  Diabetes should show up in their health records, but be sure you have it documented. 4.
