On those days, it really helps to hear other people’s stories about being diabetic.  It doesn’t even mean I want to hear bad stories about it, but it’s just nice to know that there is someone else out there who knows what I’m going through.  I thought it might be nice to share a bit about ours...

How are diabetics, both type 1 and type 2, going to get the care they deserve until the system is reformed? It's a good thing that many Americans realize this is a mammoth problem. Michael Moore's new film Sicko has, in it's typically Moore-ish way, helped draw more attention to the issue too. The current system, rests on a precarious and complex (or should I say, chaotic?) relationship between public and private healthcare providers and the insurance industry. Sadly, reform may not be possible until Americans get much, much angrier about how badly they are being let down by the system that's supposed to serve them. A gr...
