Now I am going to be 33 and am having difficulty with constant kidney infections and the doctors won't listen to me. I have stopped drinking diet cokes all together and have been drinking water but it doesn't help.

I sure hope the d community got their point across.Shamae (Ghost written by Loren her hubby)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14642220903846468776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7255572165774104242.post-90621412071615424712010-02-07T21:40:25.080-04:002010-02-07T21:40:25.080-04:00I have to agree with you Wendy.I have to agree with you Wendy.Mike LeBlanchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14925417435582338888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7255572165774104242.post-89328099295553191782010-02-07T00:33:44.203-04:002010-02-07T00:33:44.203-04:00I absolutely feel they dropped the ball.

If ONE penny is lost from funding for a cure because potential donors now believe that Type 1 could have been prevented if not for poor lifestyle choices, then our community has been SET BACK BIG TIME.<br /><br />If they wanted to do a show about T2, they should have said that. But they didn't. They said "DIABETES" -- and that means they had an obligation to give a fair representation of BOTH types, including the differences between the two. Glossing over one with inaccurate information is absolutely UNACCEPTABLE!<br /><br />PERIOD!Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05977082081187891403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7255572165774104242.post-1629933733803645332010-02-06T02:28:27.150-04:002010-02-06T02:28:27.150-04:00They did touch on Type 1, but only enough to say &...They did touch on Type 1, but only enough to say "its genetic in nature and cannot be prevented" and in the end, the effects are relatively the same, except that with type 2, its normally the complications that lead to the diagnosis. I think why they did the show was to deal with the preventable type. I too wish there was more discussion on type 1, but there was a piece where dr oz talked to a type 1 on dialysis and had her one leg and partial other foot amputated. Oprah asked him what type she had, and he told her that it was type 1 and went into a bit of the differences. When I saw the previews for the show, I was upset too, thinking "here we go again!", but in the end, it was pretty fair. They want to encourage america to take better care of themselves, eat better, exercise, etc and type 1 isn't a side effect of that kind of lifestyle. But, they didn't ignore it completely.BJnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7255572165774104242.post-8741295110915412472010-02-05T12:36:10.414-04:002010-02-05T12:36:10.414-04:00Yes Oprah show sucked yesterday and I turned off a...Yes Oprah show sucked yesterday and I turned off after ten mins and my head was blowing up .

Sweet Adele, just 2 wow... tiny little princess. <br /><br />It was frustrating to watch, even though I heard him say "Type 2 is what we are going to talk most about" there was really NO talk on Type 1, and how like Adele and you as her parents deal w/this everyday. We did not choose this nor did our babies.. and now, people are going to think "FOOD" is the cause.Diabetes Super MOMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14067411202488088706noreply@blogger.com
