 | Randyman (103) 11/30/2007 | I'm not sure where it stands against other deseases but it's pretty bad, and getting worse. Much of it is hereditary and in some cases there is nothing you can do to avoid getting it (type 1), but in so many cases, myself included, it can and could have been prevented, with proper diet and excersize (type 2). It can be regulated and in some cases it can almost disappear. The sad part about all this is that more and more children are being diagnosed as diabetic due to obesity. A little proper parenting can go long way towards preventing this.

 | GoinDownSlow (23) 11/29/2007 | Tis true, SZ, but don't forget the hereditary aspect of this illness. Some people will get it regardless of how well they treat their bodies. I've always been on the thin side and generally stayed away from sweets. Boozed and smoked for decades though and that certainly put me at risk, considering both my ma and her ma both had/have type II. My sister is also pre-diabetes.
I've be diagnosed as glucose intolerant, but I'm more likely to die of boredom if I hang around the new Barney and Freinds version of RIA. This place is deader than New Year's Eve at the Betty Ford Clinic...

 | SZinHonshu (44) 11/27/2007 | Like AIDS has become, Diabetes is treatable. Unlike AIDS, it is becoming far more prevalent in mainstream America. Due to our gluttonous sugar and laden diets, the number of Diabetes patients in the U.S. is rapidly growing.

 | CleverElsie (12) 11/26/2007 | Even with today's treatment methods, diabetes is still not
something you want to develop. There are the dietary
restrictions, the messy injections if you have Type I, the constant
risk of diabetic or insulin shock, and the serious potential
complications such as kidney failure, blindness, nerve damage, and
gangrene leading to amputation. With proper monitoring, though, a
diabetic can still live a full life.
