Comment on Since When Was Diabetes Politically Correct by Steve

If you combine the 24 million with diabetes and the 54 million of Americans with prediabetes, collectively that’s a huge voting block. I presume that the next frontier for political pandering from any party will be chronically ill Americans, namely diabetics! No longer will political promises be limited to bread and butter issues, but rather bread, butter and byetta!

Comment on Day 15 - Sixtieth Camp Blog Entry by Sam's mom

A special diabetes camp is definetely still needed!!!! My 15 year old daughter isn’t barred from doing anything becuase of her diabetes - she plays on the high school tennis team and is stage manager of our high school theatre company. However, she still feels no one understands what she has to deal with and sometimes ignores her diabetes care so she can go along with the group without always standing out - until she gets to camp - then she finally feels like she has no problems at all becuase everyone else has diabetes and eveyone is counting carbs and taking thier blood sugar all the time and she never has to explain what she is doing or what it feels like to be low. With teens they tend to get burned out, rebellious and not manage thier diabetes well, but if everyone is doing it together they get back into a good mangement rhythym that remains when they return from camp. One of her teenage friends from camp had not been controlling her diabetes well at all before going to camp this summer - but once she got together with all her other friends with diabetes, they got on her about the importance of good control and she has been doing great ever since she left camp. Hearing it form anoher personwtih daibetes rather than a doctor or parent has a much stronger affect. My daughter would be lost and feel alone without camp - she looks forward to it all year long.
