Today's Issue: Protecting People with Diabetes

Here's my issue today: due diligence in diabetes reporting. The trend of diabetes, in spite of new drugs and better insulins, is not looking so good. The facts need to be discussed and safer options must be made available to people living with diabetes.

    Great blog--if anyone will listen. Some prefer NOT to know the truth, nor to even be pointed in the direction to locate the truth. The profit motive, over the past decade, has become the be-all, end-all. And the profit motive drives pharma, and health care providers.

    Whether the L.A. Times reporter will respond is provocative. Other journalists I've contacted either (1) don't care, or (2) are too lazy to investigate and report. It's so-o-o-o much either to re-write canned press releases and present the information as news.

    You must know I support your efforts--you go, girl!

    Hello Allie .....
    Have you gotten an Email response back yet from the LA Times?
    The fact remains that the only people that might be interested in Diabetes are those that have it or have it in their families. A distinction MUST be made between the two Diabetes, since they are two different Disease Entities.
    There is Type 1 Diabetes(T1DM), which is considered auto-immune in etiology and the person with it is TOTALLY Insulin dependent.
    There is Insulin Resistant Disease(aka Type 2 Diabetes), which is preventable regardless if there is a genetic variable involved and the person with it does not have to be Insulin dependent.
    I totally agree with you, that C-peptide(the missing ingedient in genetically modified Insulin ) is Cell protective for people with T1DM.
    As a skeptic, there seems to be more money available to be made in Diabetes Complications rather than in the prevention of these Complications!!

      Hey Barry,

      Not yet -- but that is what tomorrow is for...follow up phone calls. Heck - I broadcast my email so he doesn't have to spend the time reading I'll see if I can't get his attention laying on the horn. (So to speak, of course)

      Best,
      Allie

    I only met Allie on line recently & my heart goes out to her. My husband was diagnosed with type 2 in Aug. & it just sent me over the edge until I spoke to Allie. I wish her all the good luck on her website. You go girl.
