Subject: [Diabetes-talk] Big Announcement!! about Braille Readers are
	Leaders Contest
Message-ID: <auto-000114828021@mailfront1.g2host.com>


HI Federationists and Friends,

     We are pleased to announce that this fall there will be some new 
additions to the NFB's wonderful Braille Readers are Leaders 
program.  For starters, we are going to be expanding the program to 
include some new categories.  New categories will include competitions for :

**Teens--beginner, intermediate, and advanced readers
**Adults--beginner, intermediate, and advanced readers
And so much more!

         Don't worry though.  We're still keeping the original 
Braille Readers are Leaders that we all know and love.  But, we will 
be adding some new components to that as well.  The program is slated 
to kick off in November with these new additions, so start brushing 
up on your contractions and warming up those fingers!  Please stay 
tuned for more details as they develop.

     If you have ideas or suggestions for Braille Readers are 
Leaders, or any other Braille programs,  please let me know.  You can 
contact me at the National Center, or email me at 
<mailto:Mhartle at nfb.org>Mhartle at nfb.org or 
<mailto:Mthorpe at nfb.org>Mthorpe at nfb.org.   Thanks.

Sincerely,

Subject: [Diabetes-talk] Pancreas and Islet Transplantation
Message-ID: <000e01ca2b39$06deb7b0$149c2710$@net>

Hi Folks,

I noticed here lately there have been several messages about pancreas
transplantation. An article titled INSULIN-FREE: PANCREAS AND ISLET
TRANSPLANTATION TO TREAT TYPE 1 DIABETES appeared in the Winter 1995 edition
of Voice of the Diabetic which was written by David Sutherland, MD, PhD. Who
is probably the best known pancreas surgeon in the United States. 

The article is on the NFB website. www.nfb.org and search for Voice in the
search engine. Then click view all of Voice's towards the bottom of the page
and click on the Winter 2005 edition. And again the article is titled
INSULIN-FREE: PANCREAS AND ISLET 
TRANSPLANTATION TO TREAT TYPE 1 DIABETES.

Regards,

Ed Bryant

Big Elk

Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado, August 2009

I was traveling almost all month -- two weeks by my SUV and two weeks by foot (and then on a separate trip I flew to Alaska). I hiked 132 miles of the High Sierra in California. You can read my six photo essays about this trek on my "Fitness and Photography for Fun" blog starting at " <javascript:void(0);/*1251126129630*/> High Sierra Trek: Entering the Wilderness." 

We were three members of the Sierra Club from around the country, including a woman from Vermont, a man from California, and myself from Colorado. A Sierra Club leader, an assistant leader, and a wrangler on horseback with five mules for our gear accompanied us. 

I celebrated my 74th birthday on the trail. While I was the oldest and the only member of the party to have diabetes, all of the other hikers also have health problems and physical limitations. Each of us qualified as senior citizens. One of us was a woman, supposedly the weaker sex, but in fact often the fastest hiker. I think that we proved that almost anyone at any age can get the exercise we all need and enjoy. 

This month I practiced what I preached in my article "Leisure and Health <javascript:void(0);/*1251126166153*/> ." I went on my first long vacation in 30 years. Consequently, in August I wrote only four more articles for the Health Central Network.

Nevertheless, I wrote these four articles during the month of August:

 <http://www.healthcentral.com/diabetes/c/17/> My New Diabetes Articles for Health Central: 

?   <http://www.healthcentral.com/diabetes/c/17/80864/david-diabetes-diet> David's New Diabetes Diet. A couple of years ago I wrote about what I eat. But it keeps changing, and this is what's on my plate now. 

?   <http://www.healthcentral.com/diabetes/c/17/83000/leisure-health> Leisure and Health. We work too much. Our long work week and the epidemics of diabetes and obesity may be connected. A study of 1,400 American adults that will be coming out in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine: Journal of Biobehavioral Medicine shows that the more time we spend in different leisure activities the lower our blood pressure, waist circumference, body mass index, and cortisol measurements. These are all markers of good health. 

?   <http://www.healthcentral.com/diabetes/c/17/83991/exercise-reduce-fat> Exercise May Reduce Belly Fat. When we have a lot of belly fat, we are at greater risk of heart disease because of the inflammatory molecules that this fat produces. But a new study suggests that even moderate amounts of exercise can reduce the inflammation. 

?  Vitamin D <http://www.healthcentral.com/diabetes/c/17/84759/vitamin-heart>  for the Heart. Those of us who have diabetes and don't get enough vitamin D can't process cholesterol normally. It builds up in our blood vessels, increasing our risk of heart attack and stroke. Now, however, new research has identified how low vitamin D levels link to heart disease risk and a good way to fix the problem. The solution is simply to increase our levels of vitamin D.
  

Dr. Bernstein's Webcast
If you have any interest in controlling your diabetes by low-carb eating, one of the best resources is Dr. Richard K. Bernstein's monthly webcast. It's an hour of excellent diabetes education.

?  Dr. Bernstein's next live Tele-Seminar is Tuesday, September 29, at 8:00 PM EST, 7:00 PM CST, 6:00 PM MST, and 5:00 PM PST. He designed it to answer your most important questions concerning diabetes. The seminar is free. You can click here to register: http://www.diabetes911.net/askdrb/index.php. It's also available as a live webcast both on the Internet and by phone.   

New Book on Diabetes Relationships

Cherie Burbach just published a most useful book to help people understand the personal side of diabetes. Her book is a short piece that should help a lot of people with diabetes and their families understand each other a little better.

Her book, 21 Simple Things You Can Do to Help Someone with Diabetes, is equal parts guide and etiquette book. It speaks about 21 different things you can do that don't cost a lot of money or time, but will improve the relationship you have with your pal or family member.

For more information about this useful book you can visit her website,  <http://www.cherieburbach.com> http://www.cherieburbach.com.

Hi there,
I am still using the prodigy voice and love it.
I was asked today to make sure that the numbers of the meter are 
working correctly with the numbers that the doctors office gets.
I don't know, because I haven't had the doctor test sugars while I am there.
I was sharing with the group when I eat later, past my normal time I 
feel horrible.
One of the ladies shared that I shouldn't go on number readings, unless 
I have my meter checked.
I said I go on my body and my meter doesn't say 85 unless it is truly 85.
Now I have had miss readings, where I know they are wrong.
But I am feeling grate.
I test again, and all is well.
I also find if i go to bed hungry at night my sugars are higher in 
number the next morning.
I can't seem to get my husband to get the message.
he got paid again, so I can get something where this won't happen again.
We were so low in money we are running out of groceries.
Jim my husband didn't want me to ask for help.
When he heard the higher numbers he wanted to know why.
I shared what was happening.
How close does your meters run to the doctors meters.
Or do we just use them knowing all is well.
My a one c is grate, so I don't feel I have anything to worry about.

thanks,

If you go outside for a walk do some exercise, call friends, or just sit in 
the sun for alittle while it can improve your demanor.  Also the medications 
from diabetes can cause depression as well. so keep these things in mind 
when feeling low.

I email many persons as friends,
I read and just go on with life.
I know I am a diabetic and that is that.
i just do what I have to do staying comfortable.
the more stressed out you become the numbers become the same way.
I don't have an answer for you, except smile, each day is a new day 
that is all we can do one day at a time.

If you are feeling depressed speak to your doctor.  You might do well  with 
some medication.  The meds they have will not put you in lala land,  but 
help you cope better.  
 
I got diabetes when I was 7 years old so depression did not effect me back  
then.  I really don't remember much about not being a diabetic.  The  
blindness happened 12 years ago and it was sudden.  I woke up from surgery  in 
total darkness.  So I needed some help with coping then.  The docs  didn't 
even tell me they put me on something before I left the hospital.   My life 
seemed like it was spinning and my mind racing with what to do's.   The meds 
just made things stop the spinning.  It did not make me tired just  calm me so 
I could handle things better.
 
Thank God for Zoeloft.

A combination of medication and therapy has really helped my depression 
improve. I have found that when I get really depressed I tend to neglect my 
diabetes care (not checking blood sugar levels, taking too much or two 
little insulin, eating unhealthily, etc). When I got on medication for 
depression, I had more energy and motivation to take care of myself. Talking 
to a trusted friend, going outside for fresh air and exercise, getting 
plenty of sleep, eating healthy, reading a good book, and listening to 
classical music have helped me when I am down. It is important to figure out 
what works for you. I have always been overwhelmed by several different 
suggestions, so sometimes it is simpler to put what you think might be the 
one or two easiest things for you into practice and then add more. If you 
are not able to get yourself to do something, then talking to a doctor would 
be beneficial. It is important to remember that "this too shall pass" and 
you won't always be feeling down or experiencing difficulties with diabetes.
My depression didn't result from diabetes or blindness. I have read a few 
articles suggesting that people with diabetes are more likely to have 
depression.
I hope that you start feeling better.
Chanelle

	Technology
Message-ID: <65FC229516964AC9BE11C885C3373C84@owner96190708e>

Greetings, all.

Below, please find a link to an article by Dr. Bill Quick of "Diabetes 
Monitor" describing a recent warning by FDA about blood glucose meters 
whose strips use what is known as GDH-PQQ chemistry. Basically, if 
patients are taking certain drugs or therapies which involve ingestion 
of sugars other than glucose, these strips can give falsely high 
readings (since the strips do not differentiate between glucose and 
certain other sugars), possibly leading to injecting insulin to bring 
the supposed high readings down when in reality the bg was not too high, 
possibly resulting in hypoglycemia. I do not know whether the Prodigy 
Voice strips use GDH-PQQ technology but the AccuChek VoiceMate certainly 
does.

Kelly, do you know?

In any event, read on.

I will say this, ecause I am needing to have others express their 
feelings as well.
I read the page, and learned nothing.
Nothing at all.
A person who can't even say most of the medicines out there, has no 
clue what on earth they are talking about.
I ignore this stuff,
because I refuse to get excited over something that isn't broken down 
to have the person knowing nothing about medicine explained.
Even most of the generics these days have such dredful names, when I am 
asked what do you take, I share I have no clue.
I can't even say the names of the pills.
Now I have it all written down, that is good, I couldn't say them though.
what interests me about this, is the generics my husband lyle took six 
years ago, I knew by heart.
It seems each company has their own brands.
this is where it gets confusing.
Now my husband lyle wasn't a diabetic, he had other problems,
what I am saying here, is it drives me crazy when we are all to know 
what is being discussed.
thanks for sharing,
and I will know I am doing the best I know how.
I truly feel if my machine was out of control one I would know it, by 
the way my body was feeling first.
Then second many of us use the same machine, where there would be 
someone having problems with theirs as well.
thanks again.

Mike,

Prodigy does not use GDH in any of our test strips.  I have attached an
article for your use.

I hope this helps.

Subject: [Diabetes-talk] Count-a-dose
Message-ID: <006b01ca2cd0$4e9a3870$ebcea950$@net>

Hi Folks,

As of September 2, 2009 the NFB Independence Market had 6, ? cc Count a
Doses left.  They are being sold for $40.00 each limit of one per customer.
The Independence Market  thought they were out of stock but recently found a
few extras buried somewhere. 

We know that there is a new Prodigy Count-a-dose coming out but  we are not
quite sure what it will cost and it can?t be sold until it is approved by
the FDA.

If you like the Count-a-does this may be the time to purchase one.

Contact the NFB Independence Market 410-659-9314 ext 2216

Regards,

Ed Bryant

Skip down past the login stuff and look for a Level One header; then look for a Level Four header that says "Bill Quick", I think. In any case, you don't have to log into the site.

Dar:

Perhaps the page didn't read well with the Voice Sense; I read it with a PC and there may have been some javascript. Suffice it to say that since you use a Prodigy Voice, you don't have to worry. The warning doesn't affect you.

However (and I mean no criticism by what I will say next), I suspect you fogged out as soon as you heard a chemical name. It is my opinion (and I emphasize, it's just my opinion) that no one can afford to fog out when encountering these warnings. This one didn't affect you; however, it does affect Joy Stigile. The next warning *could* affect you and by tuning it out, you might miss it.

Diabetes is one of those diseases where the patient has far more responsibility for his/her care than is the case with other diseases. I believe that one cannot afford simply to go along without being informed. I'm not saying not to trust doctors. However, they may not be aware of the latest diabetes wrinkles. So it pays to stay informed.

In this case, as I summarized at the beginning of my post, some test strips use a technology that is affected by some sugars other than glucose. They could give readings that are higher than is actually the case and is someone were to rely upon them to set an insulin dose, he/she could overdose, thus precipitating a case of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar).

But you don't have to worry.

I still intend to relay warnings such as this if I see them. I did not feel at liberty to reformat the text, however, as I believe it to be copyrighted.

Now I'll put on my bullet-proof vest. (grin)

Mike,
I can't ask any questions of my doctor on anything I have read so far.
Because I don't understand it.
If I don't understand what is written because it isn't broken down to 
language for me to understand, trust me I won't ask any questions.
I will just go on how I am feeling, and numbers and so on.
I can't explain anything I have no clue what it is.
So far praise the Lord until I have problems with kidneys and much 
more, the articles are interesting, where again, I don't understand 
enough to explain it back to anyone else.
I do lots of reading, must say not on doctor things though.
Thanks again.

this is why I ask questions so folks can brake down what is being shared.

Subject: [Diabetes-talk] Bridging the Gap
Message-ID: <000a01ca2d93$a8f2b040$fad810c0$@net>

Hi Folks,

I know you are all aware of the new NFB book titled Bridging the Gap, Living
with Blindness and Diabetes. I hope all of us are helping by distributing
this book. And please be aware that as of September 2nd there were 1360
copies of Bridging the Gap left at the NFB Independence Market.

I have distributed at least 125 books and you may know that public libraries
are super good places for free literature. My library has a section for
standard print items and another for large print items. I have also supplied
my local Dialysis unit with several copies because about 50% of those on
dialysis are diabetic. 

If you would like to help distribute Bridging the Gap please call the NFB
Independence Market in Baltimore MD at 410-659-9314 ext. 2216.  

Have a great day!

Regards,

Ed Bryant

The identification of this variant gene may help scientists develop a treatment for type 1 diabetes. 
Misinformed Immune System May Cause Type I Diabetes
Sep 3, 2009 
Researchers at Stanford University recently discovered that a deformed version of a gene may contribute to type 1 diabetes by sabotaging the functioning of the gene's normal version. Experiments conducted on mice with a diabetes-type disease showed that the deformed variant may prevent the healthy version from protecting the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas from attack by the immune system.

The gene, called Deaf1 (deformed epidermal autoregulatory factor 1), is a transcriptional regulator, which means that it controls the transfer of information necessary for certain functions to take place. Deaf1 is present in the body in two forms, a longer normal version and a shorter dysfunctional version. The long, normal version of Deaf1 produces molecules that protect cells from attack by the body's immune system. This is particularly relevant to those suffering from type 1 diabetes because the molecules produced by the longer version help protect the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas from that unfortunate fate.

C. Garrison Fathman, M.D., and his team at Stanford showed that a prevalence of the shorter version of Deaf1 actually dissuaded the longer version from producing these protective molecules, thus allowing the insulin-producing cells of the pancreas to be damaged. Applying their findings from the mouse experiment to human subjects, the researchers discovered a correlation between higher levels of the variant Deaf1 gene and people with type1 diabetes.

The identification of this variant gene may provide guidance in the development of a treatment that would interact with the Deaf1 protein and help to treat type 1 diabetes.

The research was funded by a grant from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, both components of the National Institutes of Health. Additional funding came from the Special Statutory Funding Program for Type 1 Diabetes Research.

JDRF award supports study of potential target for blocking type 1 diabetes
Dr. Jerry Nadler leads research team at Eastern Virginia Medical School
NORFOLK, Va. - Scientists at Eastern Virginia Medical School's Strelitz Diabetes Center have been awarded a two-year grant totaling $472,683 by the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF).

The center's research team, led by Jerry Nadler, MD, professor and chair of internal medicine and director of the center, has been studying the role of an enzyme called 12- Lipoxygenase (12-LO) in damaging insulin-producing beta cells, a condition that leads to Type 1 Diabetes. "We have successfully identified a vital step in the development of Type 1 diabetes and we are hopeful that blocking this enzyme could hold the key to engineering breakthrough new treatments," Dr. Nadler said.

12-LO is a protein-based enzyme in beta cells that produces lipids. These lipids are highly pro-inflammatory and can lead to the death of beta cells. EVMS researchers have demonstrated that deletion of the gene that produces 12-LO in animal models prevents the development of Type 1 Diabetes at a rate of nearly 100 percent.

The group has now identified the particular form of 12-LO found in human insulin producing cells. And, while still preliminary, this research could help scientists develop a novel therapeutic approach to stop beta cells from being destroyed and to allow functional regeneration of beta cells in Type 1 Diabetes patients. Working with Ted Holman, PhD, a professor of chemistry and biochemistry at the University of California, Santa Cruz, the EVMS team hopes to use these findings to help develop a new drug.

"We are fortunate to be working with Dr. Holman, who has discovered some very promising compounds that can reduce 12-LO activity. Now, with the generosity and support of the JDRF, we can apply this technology to help prevent the destruction of beta cells and allow the regeneration of insulin-producing cells in Type 1 Diabetes," Dr. Nadler said.

"Dr. Nadler and his team have made amazing strides in our understanding of how lipoxygenase may contribute to the development of diabetes and opens the possibility of directly targeting this enzyme for treatment," Dr. Holman said. "Based on this important discovery, Dr. Nadler has already begun testing our lipoxygenase inhibitors in the hopes of generating new treatments for diabetes. His preliminary results are very promising and with his recent funding by the JDRF, we hope to make further progress."

"JDRF is thrilled to be supporting Dr. Nadler's work at EVMS as this research may represent an important step toward the development of a new therapeutic strategy for treating type 1 diabetes," said Patricia Kilian, PhD, director of regeneration at JDRF. 

Often diagnosed in children and young adults, Type 1 diabetes, previously known as juvenile diabetes, is an autoimmune disorder associated with the destruction of insulin-producing beta cells. Without insulin, the body is unable to process sugars and starches leaving it unable to convert them into energy for movement, growth, repair and other functions.

About EVMS

Eastern Virginia Medical School was established in 1973 to provide better health care options for the Hampton Roads area. The EVMS focus on teaching, discovering and caring ensures high-quality medical education for aspiring physicians and health professionals; the advancement of innovative medical research; and high-quality, patient-centered care for the community.

About JDRF

JDRF is a leader in setting the agenda for diabetes research worldwide, and is the largest charitable funder and advocate of type 1 research. The mission of JDRF is to find a cure for diabetes and its complications through the support of research. Type 1 Diabetes is a disease that strikes children and adults suddenly and requires multiple injections of insulin daily or a continuous infusion of insulin through a pump. Insulin, however, is not a cure for diabetes, nor does it prevent its eventual and devastating complications, which may include kidney failure, blindness, heart disease, stroke, and amputation.

Since its founding in 1970 by parents of children with type 1 diabetes, JDRF has awarded more than $1.3 billion to diabetes research, including more than $156 million in FY2008. In FY2008 the Foundation funded more than 1,000 centers, grants and fellowships in 22 countries.

Hi, all.

Check out http://www.dLife.com and, in particular, the "dLife TV" link. 
You'll need the latest Flash player from Adobe to watch the video but it 
works pretty well. Sometimes IMO it's a bit too preachy but it's often 
quite funny and the advice is generally pretty good. dLife also has a 
show on CNBC Sundays at 7:00 p.m. Eastern.

There are times when my glucose levels read very low, even though I feel
fine.  I always test again when that happens, and that usually improves the
readings.  I'm not sure if your meter is ever going to agree totally with
the equipment that the doctor's office has.  
My thought has always been that maybe it works like scales do measuring
weight, so I hope this helps.  I'm coming up to my first anniversary dealing
with this stuff, so while I can't pass myself off as a master, I'm learning
a lot.  
Take care

Paul

Hi there,
I am still using the prodigy voice and love it.
I was asked today to make sure that the numbers of the meter are 
working correctly with the numbers that the doctors office gets.
I don't know, because I haven't had the doctor test sugars while I am there.
I was sharing with the group when I eat later, past my normal time I 
feel horrible.
One of the ladies shared that I shouldn't go on number readings, unless 
I have my meter checked.
I said I go on my body and my meter doesn't say 85 unless it is truly 85.
Now I have had miss readings, where I know they are wrong.
But I am feeling grate.
I test again, and all is well.
I also find if i go to bed hungry at night my sugars are higher in 
number the next morning.
I can't seem to get my husband to get the message.
he got paid again, so I can get something where this won't happen again.
We were so low in money we are running out of groceries.
Jim my husband didn't want me to ask for help.
When he heard the higher numbers he wanted to know why.
I shared what was happening.
How close does your meters run to the doctors meters.
Or do we just use them knowing all is well.
My a one c is grate, so I don't feel I have anything to worry about.

thanks,

Yes I feel my meter is doing just fine.
I notice if I don't keep my meals around the same time each day then I 
see problems.
I will eat my dinner before mass on Saturday now they will switch to 
five thirty instead of five.
I know eating at seven thirty or eight is way to late for me.
Thanks for replying.

Hi Debbie,

When I  was depressed, I used to check my blood sugar.  It was usually high.  I also needed to check when I was hungry-it was usually high, meaning it was not a good time to eat!
Going outside is always a good one for me and getting away from the computer!

Wishing your blues away,
Sally

Hi all there is an online community website for the blind called 
for-the-people.com  It is free all you need is a headset and microphone like 
you use for skype.

Carl Jacobsen President of the NY State Affiliate has created our own NFB 
room it meets from 7-830 pm eastern time, it is the NY affiliate room, but 
we welcome all NFB members. a lot more fun then the conference calls, and 
maybe it can be done for DAN. Great way to have the NFB out there possible 
getting new members and talking about diabetes.  Just a thought come in all 
are welcome, NFB or not.

GENEREX ANNOUNCES USFDA APPROVAL OF USE OF COMPANY'S FLAGSHIP BUCCAL INSULIN
PRODUCT, GENEREX ORAL-LYNT, UNDER THE USFDA'S TREATMENT

INVESTIGATIONAL NEW DRUG (IND) PROGRAM 

 

WORCESTER, MA, September 10, 2009 (GlobeNewswire) - Generex Biotechnology
Corporation (Nasdaq: GNBT, www.generex.com), the leader in drug delivery for
metabolic diseases through the inner lining of the mouth, today announced
that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted approval for
the treatment use of Generex Oral-lynT under the FDA's Treatment
Investigational New Drug (IND) program.

 

The FDA's Treatment IND program allows companies to provide early access to
investigational drugs for patients with serious or life-threatening
conditions for which there is no satisfactory alternative treatment.  Drugs
that are granted approval by the FDA for the Treatment IND program must
demonstrate the prospect of efficacy through clinical testing.

 

Under a structured Treatment IND protocol, Generex Oral-lyn T will be
provided to patients with serious or life-threatening Type 1 or Type 2
diabetes mellitus, with no satisfactory alternative therapy available for
the treatment of diabetes, and who are not eligible to participate in the
Company's ongoing global Phase III pivotal clinical trial.  

 

This Treatment IND will be open to eligible patients that comply with the
inclusion / exclusion criteria of the protocol, including those who are
taking currently approved anti-diabetic medications.  There are no oral or
injectable medications contraindicated for this IND program.

 

In order to learn more about the availability of Generex Oral-lynT under the
IND Treatment program, as per FDA requirements, the Company will be
providing information within the www.ClinicalTrials.gov
<http://www.clinicaltrials.gov/>  website. Details will include study design
and participating sites and/or physicians.  Please note that the drug will
be available only through physicians who are registered in the Treatment IND
program.

 

"We are excited about having the opportunity to meet the needs of American
patients living with diabetes who have no satisfactory alternative treatment
and have contacted the Company, based on their special needs, about possible
access to Generex Oral-lynT", stated Anna Gluskin, Generex's President and
Chief Executive Officer.  "This opportunity to provide those in critical
need of Generex Oral-lynT will continue while the pivotal Phase III study
concludes and the Company prepares for its New Drug Submission with the
USFDA and other major health authorities in key markets."

Safe Harbor Statement 

 

This release and oral statements made from time to time by Generex
representatives in respect of the same subject matter may contain
"forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  These statements can be identified by
introductory words such as "expects," "plans," "intends," "believes,"
"will," "estimates," "forecasts," "projects," or words of similar meaning,
and by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current
facts.  Forward-looking statements frequently are used in discussing
potential product applications, potential collaborations, product
development activities, clinical studies, regulatory submissions and
approvals, and similar operating matters. Many factors may cause actual
results to differ from forward-looking statements, including inaccurate
assumptions and a broad variety of risks and uncertainties, some of which
are known and others of which are not.  Known risks and uncertainties
include those identified from time to time in the reports filed by Generex
with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which should be considered
together with any forward-looking statement.  No forward-looking statement
is a guarantee of future results or events, and one should avoid placing
undue reliance on such statements.  Generex undertakes no obligation to
update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new
information, future events or otherwise.  Generex cannot be sure when or if
it will be permitted by regulatory agencies to undertake additional clinical
trials or to commence any particular phase of clinical trials.  Because of
this, statements regarding the expected timing of clinical trials cannot be
regarded as actual predictions of when Generex will obtain regulatory
approval for any "phase" of clinical trials.  Generex claims the protection
of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements that is contained in the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act.

Thank you Ed for giving the location of the article.  I remember reading it years ago.  Islet transplantation is done basically the same.  As the article mentions, immune suppressants have changed and the transplanted cells are lasting longer.  The immune suppressants they used for me do not harm the kidneys, which is the reason I had the transplant now and not 5 or 10 years ago as I  was hoping to do.  

Thanks,
Sally

Hey guys, 

My prodigy voice meter seems to be working slower and slower.  

I know that its memory for retained readings is at 400, and as that number
approaches, will the meter slow down?  

Since my doctor pulls a1c readings, rathan debriefing the meter, is it
sensible to dump the data, and perhaps it will run more efficiently?  Please
advise.  

I'm coming up on my first anniversary of my diagnosis, and I'm averaging a
little higher these past few days.  I want to say again that I appreciate
everyone's input on this list, and here's wishing you all good health.

Hi Paul,

Best of luck at your up coming anniversary.
I have found that when my battery is getting low the meter has slowed down. 
The number of readings does not seam to matter as I test myself 7 to 10 
times a day as an "Insulin Pumper". The weird thing is when the meter passes 
about 392 in number of tests in the memory, the average 90 result gives you 
a bogus less than 20 blood sugar level. Besides my interest and fascination 
with diabetes, biology and the sciences, I'm very techy and have tested my 
theory by dumping my results and found the erroneous blood sugar level on 
the 90 day to always be off after the 392 or 393 count.
But to reiterate the answer to your question, the number of tests in memory 
is not the reason for the slowdown. Just be ready with the battery as my 
machines just suddenly say change battery now without any low battery lead 
or prep time. I also believe the memory actually holds 450, unless the 
changes in the machines over the last year have lowered the number of tests 
in memory.

Good luck...

After each time I do the a one c I dump the data.
then start over again.
For another three months.
Then it is new readings for the doctor to see.

Hi there,
I have a pair of diabetic shoes.
What I was told and feel it is faults advertisement is,
after you wear the shoes for two weeks you get an arch support started.
I have worn the shoes for three weeks and at no time is there an arch support.
I don't know if this is with the company my foot doctor uses or what?
I do know I am very disappointed.
Any thoughts on this?
Have you experienced the same thing with the shoes you have?
I am told the shoes are comfortable.
Well with out the arch, I don't feel they are.

are the arch supports in the shoes or are you supposed to put them in your 
shoes, different shoes. I get mine from the place that was at the convention 
in dallas in 2008 great company, shrevsport diabetic shoes, they did my 
measurements at convention and then every year medicare pays for a new pair, 
you don't have to use the company that the dr uses especially if you are 
medicare, the shoe company will send a release to your dr. and they do all 
the paperwork, but getting back to your shoes, if there is a problem send 
them back or go to the dr,  tell him the shoes don't feel right and this 
should be a podiatrist that is working on your feet. The dr doesn't want you 
working around in shoes that don't feel right they will make your feet 
worse.

Don't be afraid to tell your dr, the shoes don't feel right tell someone dr 
or people who made the shoes if reliable source they will remake your shoes 
or refit them for free.

What I was told by the front desk lady was I can't send the shoes back.
the inserts came with the shoes with two extra pairs.
You wear the inserts for three months then change them out.
Well you would be starting over again with the same problem.
Since I was told this, I didn't call back.
I just went to what I was wearing.
My medical doctor feels that my toes bother me when my back is out.
So I go to the chiropractor.
When I am adjusted I have seen a huge difference.

that is the lady at the dr office, of course you can send the shoes back in 
fact you can call the company yourself ask the dr himself whom he uses, tell 
them that your insurance company paid for it, and if it is medicare then you 
can call up and tell them the shoes for whatever reason they don't fit, they 
have no right telling you you can't return them.

Everyone please do not let the dr office staff intimidate you, the front 
desk person is basically a front desk person, they don't do anything with 
the paperwork. a lot of them don't even have the training I paid to have to 
work in a dr office, they just get $10 an hr and don't do squat

Call medicare and tell them that the dr office wont tell you what you need 
to know.

In reality Dar and everyone this is a waste of any kind of money going 
towards our insurance, we don't tell the dr what we want and listen to them 
they recommend the wrong thing in this case, Dar's issue may be her back and 
not her feet.  Then why did your insurance have to pay for the shoes in the 
first place, you can go out to payless or target or even walmart get a 
$10-20 pair of shoes or even go to a medical supply store and get arch 
support shoes.

Waste of money, waste of time, ruining a patients health.

Here is why I am not ready to do this,
I signed the paper that says I agree I won't send the shoes back.
I was trusting the office.
Feeling they knew what they were talking about.
I haven't spoken to the doctor at all.
At no time was my doctor rude with me.
The shoes fit fine, there just isn't an arch that comes up on the foot 
as was shared with me it would.
I just get quite tired if I don't have an arch in my shoes.
I asked the doctor if I could get an arch support that is put in tennis shoes.
He did say the supports make their own arches.
So I left it at that.
Still trusting.
I didn't know at the time.
I won't get a second pair.
The first time is their mistake, the second time is mine.
I still have the box the shoes came in.
Putting it into the closet.
I am pretty sure all the paper work is inside.
As well as the other inserts that are given when the shoes are bought.
The store comes out of Signet's.
I don't know my account number.
this wasn't given to me.
I can share this with the rehab out here who helped pay for the co payment.
Then it was my insurance who paid for the rest of the shoes.
I am just stuck since I signed paper work.
I won't deny that I didn't.
I am way to honest.
I just got screwed where I need to just let be let be.
I don't want to fight with anyone.

see that is where you went wrong, the dr office knows that they have had 
problems and that is why they made you sign it, that is against the law, 
because they are making a profit on the insurance as well as the shoe 
company and you.

With medicare you only get one pair from them free a year and the shoes run 
around  why I don't know I find them very cheaply made and very rarely wear 
mine.

You have to realize the dr office is a business, I plan on writing an 
article for the braille monitor on the subject soon.

I am also giving a couple of speeches at my state convention one is on HIPAA 
to the general convention and one is on getting diabetic supplies and shoes 
to our luncheon on a possible DAN Chapter here in NY.

So from both after convention I plan on writing articles on both so keep an 
eye out, maybe next year if I can get some funding make it to Dallas, and if 
Mike will allow me maybe I can give a lecture or two on the subject.

You are never stuck at all, that is wrong, and no you are not screwed you 
don't know a lot of people don't know.

I was asked to chair a committee by Ed Bryant and still waiting for others 
to agree, this is something that not only diabetics need to be aware of but 
all people who go to the dr and get supplies such as shoes, or insulin 
supplies, or canes, and walkers.

We need to help the people of our community meaning the blind to take hold 
of there insurance issues, and know there rights, guess what your insurance 
company doesn't want to waste money either, especially medicare or any other 
insurance if they find out what the dr are doing they will put a stop to it 
believe me there are fines.

Give you an example.  I ordered shoes 3 months prior to convention, 
everytime I called the dr office no they are not in yet, well mind you I 
also stopped going to that dr as well, because I felt that they weren't 
doing there job properly.

I also didn't sign any paperwork at the dr office for the shoes they just 
fitted my foot, in dallas, I went to the Shrevesport Diabetic Shoe vendor 
and they measured my feet and said they will contact my primary care dr to 
make sure that I am diabetic or you can give your diabetic if in dallas they 
come back again do not I repeat do not give them the podiatrist name, just 
the others, give them your insurance cards, they will do the rest.

go my shoes less then a month later, there were a few problems I sent them 
back free of charge and they fixed them, in fact they sent me the foam box 
to fit my foot, the problem with the shoes was that I have 2 amputated toes 
and they were suppose to put fittings in the shoe for where the toes were 
because I know walk a little stronger with the support there.

Anyway, I didn't sign anything until I was sure the shoes fitted correctly, 
Medicare will not pay until you sign off on the shoes.

Okay we jump to February 2009 6 months after getting my shoes from 
shrevesport, and I get my medicare statement of what they pay and what they 
didn't always have someone read them to you or have it scanned so you can 
read it, a lot of times you don't know what is going on and you need to see 
if anyone made mistakes and sure enough,  Medicare paid my podatrist and not 
shrevesport, I called Medicare and the dr office they said the shoes were 
there if I wanted them, I said that I never signed off on them no one from 
the dr office called me to tell me they were in and after 3 months of 
waiting I went somewhere else, I said that I am a medicare recipient I 
didn't sign off on the shoes, and that is fraud.  Still in the works right 
now Medicare takes its time but in fact I have to call Medicare tomorrow to 
find out, I need new shoes and I don't want to use shrevsport until Medicare 
pays them.

You see you can fit it, even if you signed something.  You are not screwed.

I will speak with the lady who helped me out.
She is a stronger lady than I am.
I can stand up for myself in some things, where I get tired of standing alone.
Thanks for sharing this information.
I will keep this message and let her see it.
Then she could help me out.
I haven't spoken to the doctor at all.
I don't see him again for another three months.
I don't even want any more inserts put into the shoes or anything.
Because of the cost of them.
I still have the other inserts in the same packages they came in.
Never been opened.
thanks again.

Thank you Ed for giving the location of the article.  I remember reading it
years ago.  Islet transplantation is done basically the same.  As the
article mentions, immune suppressants have changed and the transplanted
cells are lasting longer.  The immune suppressants they used for me do not
harm the kidneys, which is the reason I had the transplant now and not 5 or
10 years ago as I  was hoping to do.  

Thanks,
Sally

Hi Folks,

The results of pancreas transplantation has improved quite a bit over the
past few years.

I know a lady in the Huston Texas area who had a pancreas transplant on
April 4, 1998 which means her pancreas has been working well for the past 11
years.

Ed Bryant

Please excuse my ignorance here.

Would one no longer be a diabetic if one  were to get a pancreas transplant?

Hi List
I have the Prodigy Voice Glucometer and try to read my blood sugar level 
twice a day as requested by my Dr. Most of the time I get a good reading 
that matches how I feel. Recently, however, I have been getting a "Blood 
Glucose level low" message instead of a number value for the reading. Any 
thoughts as to what is going on here?

Many if you don't keep your finger on the strip until the reading 
starts, you will get a bad report.
Or if you don't have enough blood on the strip?

I have gotten very low blood levels and I repeat the testing to be  sure.  
I believe you can get these low levels if not enough blood has  activated 
the meter.    If you have any doubts just repeat with  another finger.

Albert,

A Low reading reading is given with the Prodigy Voice if your blood sugar is below 20mg/dl OR this can happen if you haven't applied enough blood to the strip.  It takes a very small amount 0.7microleters but if its smaller than that you can often get a "LOW" indicator.

I have to correct something here, know this is coming from doctors and a lot 
of studying of anatomy and phisology I know I spelled that wrong for a 
number of months, and the people who ran my school are actually surgeons, 
and from my transplant team, there is no cure yet for diabetic, End stage 
renal disease, even those that get heart transplants.

They are a treatment and not a cure, meaning like myself, I have to take 
anti jection medication that rest of my life and they are getting better, 
but you can develop other problems with these drugs, but it is better then 
the alternatives.

If you want to believe you wont have diabetes anymore go right ahead, but at 
the same time once you get this life saving trasnplant whether being for 
pancreas, cell transplant, kidney, etc.  You cannot go out and eat 
everything you want, still have to see dr every 3 months for the rest of 
your life, to make sure that all levels are good, etc.  I know people who 
have had transplants, and after went back to drinking, or smoking, or not 
eating what you are suppose to follow and they lose that organ even die from 
it.

It is not a cure all and not everyone qualifies for these either.

So please be realistic about this, it would only be a treatment and not a 
cure.

You have to cure the disease first before you say there is a cure, so far 
these is not.

I am a kidney transplant recipient who is intimately aware of the
highlights and pitfalls of antirejection medication among other
things. Though ?Ta-da! Get a pancreas, be rid of diabetes? would be
nice, I never harbored thoughts of it being a cure-all procedure.

I would love to get one, but not all diabetics are alike, and Medicare just 
wont pay for them.  Ta Da if it was that easy I would have gotten one 7 
years ago, but I had to wait for an organ donor for my kidney who is my best 
friend, I have not been on dialysis since august 2005

for someone who works in the field and one who has been through it, you just 
can't get one, and guess what not everyone is an organ donor, and not 
everyone can wait for organs.

I am a kidney transplant recipient who is intimately aware of the
highlights and pitfalls of antirejection medication among other
things. Though ?Ta-da! Get a pancreas, be rid of diabetes? would be
nice, I never harbored thoughts of it being a cure-all procedure.

Patients struggles with maintaining good management of diabetes not something medicine can control
 a.. By Dr. Stephen Ponder 
  b.. Posted September 16, 2009 at 10:57 a.m. 
  a.. Email a.. Discuss a.. Share ? a.. Digg a.. Facebook a.. LinkedIn a..     MySpace a.. Print a.. A a.. A a.. A CORPUS CHRISTI ? One reason we need a real cure for diabetes is that most diabetics have trouble maintaining good management of their diabetes for reasons that modern medicine can?t really change. 

The landmark Diabetes Control and Complications Trial proved the virtues of tight blood sugar control. Yet it took a decade to conduct (1983-93) and required near superhuman effort to keep 1,440 people with Type 1 diabetes in consistent diabetes control over that entire time. 

But the real story behind the trial is what still haunts us today. It?s our inability to apply its conclusions and recommendations into the lives of millions. 

We never have been able to duplicate its results on a large scale. It has been said that only 5 percent of diabetic patients now can possibly attain and sustain the levels of control shown in the trial.

Patients in the trial were between 13 and 39 at the start of the study. That meant that applying the results to patients outside those ages would not be scientifically defensible. Yet, I see that being done now by pretty much everyone in the profession.

Next, (and this is the trial?s real dirty little secret) all study patients were screened for any pre-existing mental health or social conditions that would keep them from being able to maintain good control. If I had the ability to pick and choose like that in the real world, my clinical outcomes would look fantastic too. But the world is full of poorly motivated, mentally/socially challenged and frankly mentally ill adults and children who just happen to have diabetes too. Where do they fit in this model of diabetes health care delivery? They don?t.

Everyone in the trial was provided diabetes supplies at no cost to them. When we consider the high costs of daily diabetes care now, this becomes a significant financial barrier to good outcomes. In the discussions about health care reform resulting from tens of millions of uninsured Americans, diabetes ranks high on the list of financially crippling diseases that often gets neglected simply because there is no way to pay for the proper care and equipment, or the education needed to manage it each day.

Finally, (and this also speaks to resource allocation) consider that trial patients in the treatment group (aimed at keeping the blood glucose average low) all got monthly visits to the diabetes doctor and weekly calls from the diabetes nurse to make constant adjustments in their daily management. Communication was almost always by phone or fax. In that regard, the trial was the first study to really prove the value of telemedicine and diabetes care outcomes on such a grand scale. And this was accomplished well before cell phones, text messaging, computers and the Internet permeated our lives.

Ultimately, the trial represents a search for a Holy Grail: perfecting blood sugar control and lowering the long term complications of diabetes. In the end, the power to succeed over diabetes lies in every one of us. The trial proved it could be drawn out in a select few. But as our natural riches may be buried at different depths within the ground below, how deep do you and other have to drill down to unleash it within you?

Dr. Stephen Ponder, who has Type 1 diabetes, has been a pediatric endocrinologist for 20 years. He is director of the Children?s Diabetes and Endocrine Center of South Texas at Driscoll Children?s Hospital.

> a.. Email a.. Discuss a.. Share ? a.. Digg a.. Facebook a.. LinkedIn a.. MySpace a.. Print a.. A a.. A a.. A CORPUS CHRISTI ? One reason we need a real cure for diabetes is that most diabetics have trouble maintaining good management of their diabetes for reasons that modern medicine can?t really change. 
> 
> The landmark Diabetes Control and Complications Trial proved the virtues of tight blood sugar control. Yet it took a decade to conduct (1983-93) and required near superhuman effort to keep 1,440 people with Type 1 diabetes in consistent diabetes control over that entire time. 
> 
> But the real story behind the trial is what still haunts us today. It?s our inability to apply its conclusions and recommendations into the lives of millions. 
> 
> We never have been able to duplicate its results on a large scale. It has been said that only 5 percent of diabetic patients now can possibly attain and sustain the levels of control shown in the trial.
> 
> Patients in the trial were between 13 and 39 at the start of the study. That meant that applying the results to patients outside those ages would not be scientifically defensible. Yet, I see that being done now by pretty much everyone in the profession.
> 
> Next, (and this is the trial?s real dirty little secret) all study patients were screened for any pre-existing mental health or social conditions that would keep them from being able to maintain good control. If I had the ability to pick and choose like that in the real world, my clinical outcomes would look fantastic too. But the world is full of poorly motivated, mentally/socially challenged and frankly mentally ill adults and children who just happen to have diabetes too. Where do they fit in this model of diabetes health care delivery? They don?t.
> 
> Everyone in the trial was provided diabetes supplies at no cost to them. When we consider the high costs of daily diabetes care now, this becomes a significant financial barrier to good outcomes. In the discussions about health care reform resulting from tens of millions of uninsured Americans, diabetes ranks high on the list of financially crippling diseases that often gets neglected simply because there is no way to pay for the proper care and equipment, or the education needed to manage it each day.
> 
> Finally, (and this also speaks to resource allocation) consider that trial patients in the treatment group (aimed at keeping the blood glucose average low) all got monthly visits to the diabetes doctor and weekly calls from the diabetes nurse to make constant adjustments in their daily management. Communication was almost always by phone or fax. In that regard, the trial was the first study to really prove the value of telemedicine and diabetes care outcomes on such a grand scale. And this was accomplished well before cell phones, text messaging, computers and the Internet permeated our lives.
> 
> Ultimately, the trial represents a search for a Holy Grail: perfecting blood sugar control and lowering the long term complications of diabetes. In the end, the power to succeed over diabetes lies in every one of us. The trial proved it could be drawn out in a select few. But as our natural riches may be buried at different depths within the ground below, how deep do you and other have to drill down to unleash it within you?

Hi Nef,
I think officially you would not be a diabetic if you had a pancreas
transplant. As long as your blood glucose levels stay in the right range
when you eat more carbohydrates than you should you would officially not
have diabetes.
Please realize that organ damage that may have happened before the pancreas
transplant will not necessarily correct itself. For the most part any damage
is already there for example if you had heart problems the artery damage may
get worse
I don't claim to be a medical expert so I strongly urge that you see a
doctor who specializes in diabetes and he/she will probably do a range of
tests and then may or may not have you see a more specialized physician. 
You should always do your best to keep your diabetes in check and have a
qualified doctor. 
I hope this helps some.
Regards,
Ed Bryant

Please excuse my ignorance here.

Would one no longer be a diabetic if one  were to get a pancreas transplant?

Hi Debbie,
In the St Louis area I recommend  Barnes Hospital or  St Louis University on
Grand Avenue. Barnes is by far the largest and should be as good as any
transplant center.
They should provide you information on patients you have had a pancreas
transplant so you can converse on the actually transplanee.
If you can not find a transplant center willing to let you talk with past
patients you might try Fairview University Medical Center in Minneapolis
Minnesota (800) 328-5465.
Good Luck,
Ed Bryant

Hi Albert,
I suggest you call Diagnostic Devices Inc in Charlotte North Carolina at
800-366-5901. They manufactured the Prodigy Voice and should be able to
answer your concerns. They also have a technical support section that you
could be transferred to.
Regards,

Subject: [Diabetes-talk] Blood Glucose level low message

Hi List
I have the Prodigy Voice Glucometer and try to read my blood sugar level 
twice a day as requested by my Dr. Most of the time I get a good reading 
that matches how I feel. Recently, however, I have been getting a "Blood 
Glucose level low" message instead of a number value for the reading. Any 
thoughts as to what is going on here?

I suspect that it is as simple as not getting enough blood on the strip. 
In a pinch, one might also try putting in a couple of new AAA alkaline 
cells though I doubt that makes much of a difference.

P.S. Kelly is on this list and she may have a comment -- already did 
comment once.

I'm not sure exactly what you're looking at, but if you go to the address
part of the email, you should be able to 
Do alt f which will take you to the menu bar, then arrow down to save
attachments and enter.  
This should save the attachment to my documents, and when you enter on its
name, it should open for you.  
If this doesn't work, send me your email address, and we can deal with this
off list.  
Thanks everybody if I've inconvienced you.  

Paul

Hi, Paul.  I smile at you because my Anniversary will soon arrive on October 
1, 2009.  I'm experiencing similar problems in that when I put my test 
strips in, I'm getting slower responses.

I wish you well, and if you need someone to talk with who is as much a 
newbie as you feel free to get in touch.

When the message is open, hit back-tab (that is, Shift+Tab) once and you 
should see the attachment(s) and be able to get into a dialogue to open 
or save them by hitting ENTER. Failing that, with the message open, try 
JAWS Key +A. Also, as another gentlemen here says, go into the files 
menu with the message open and hit V. You'll be in a dialogue to save 
the attachments.

Subject: [Diabetes-talk] On-line Demonstrations of KNFB Reader Mobile
 Software and Nokia N86
Message-ID: <auto-000118121520@mailfront1.g2host.com>

The National Federation of the Blind and The Michael Hingson Group 
will hold online demonstrations and discussions of the KnfbReader 
Mobile this Friday afternoon, September 25, 2009, and Saturday, 
September 26, 2009.  The purpose of these meetings is to showcase the 
KnfbReader Mobile using the new Nokia N86 platform.  "We are excited 
about the possibilities afforded by the Nokia N86 and its ability to 
support the KnfbReader Mobile in the future", states Michael Hingson 
president of The Michael Hingson Group.

During these online sessions we will discuss the features of the 
KnfbReader Mobile as well as pricing and availability with the Nokia 
N86.  The N86 has many new and interesting features not available on 
earlier platforms supported by the KnfbReader Mobile.  These sessions 
will be of interest both to existing users as well as those who are 
interested in purchasing a Reader in the future.  After opening 
presentations Michael Hingson will take questions on all aspects of 
the reader.  Those who received this announcement are invited to 
encourage their friends and colleagues to join the session so that as 
many as possible can learn about this amazing device which is 
changing the lives of many blind people throughout the world.

If you have questions or want to learn more about decay NFB reader 
mobile please contact: Michael Hingson

Physical activity burns calories from the foods we eat and improves the
body's ability to use insulin. But because we've eliminated many of the
physical demands of daily living, we need to find ways of making more
physical activity part of our daily routines.

Subject: [Diabetes-talk] foot doctor
Message-ID: <20090922192204.23997.70280@web3.serotek.com>

Hi there Sheryl,
I thought I had your email address but I don't.
When speaking with the foot doctor, I was told that since I didn't say 
a word in the two week period they are out as well.
I shared what I was told was it would take two weeks for the supports 
in the shoes to start an arch.
She said "you signed the paper that you understood what I was saying.
My reply was, yes I signed the paper, understanding it would take two 
weeks for you to know the supports would start an arch.
Nothing was said about coming for adjustments on the shoes.
I was told that I had to keep the shoes no matter what.
The reply was I was told correctly.
Becky is the wife to the foot doctor.
The doctor told me he would be able to put in the other supports in my 
shoes since I wouldn't know how to do this.
Now for me this is and was quite stupid.
If I don't know how to add more supports in a shoe then I don't know much.
When you keep adding to the support in the shoe, you take away foot room.
I know I am not dumb to figure that out.
I did find a new doctor, that I won't see for a bit.
That was the only way I knew how to handle the matter.
I also know that I don't miss understand that bad.
Now that I have had the shoes for a month there isn't anything that can 
be done.
According to the lady at the desk.
Just wanted to share.
With moving to a different doctor I won't support bad business.
Thanks for sharing.
I needed to know what you shared before, this is how I got started 
asking questions.
Thanks again.

wonderful, and the part about they can't do anything that is wrong.  It is 
not up to the dr to say anything about the shoes, if you are not comfortable 
with them the company that made the shoes should adjust them since the dr 
cannot do this themselves.  Are for starters I change the supports in my own 
shoes also, I hope you told the dr where to put the supports.  LOL

Take care proud of you DAR

for once I was nice smile.
I just said I needed to find another doctor.
If you put three supports in your shoes where does your foot go.
On the bottom of the shoe?
Giggle.
I know I will be asked and I will share what happened.
I truly know I am not stupid.
I know what I was told.

If a cure was found it would impact so many people I can't begin to guess at 
the numbers.  Hospitals, labs, doctors that treat the diabetes, heart, 
kidney, feet, and God knows what other specialties.  Then there are the drug 
companies, including both perscription & over-the-counter.

not many since there are many other diseases out there that need cures such 
as pancreatic cancer that patrick swayze just died of and all the other 
cancers, and diseases that we are getting like this new swine flu.

There are many people that would not lose there jobs if there was a cure, 
they could go and work on other diseases.

Hello All,

Seems to me like a cure would not get rid of the complications already
acquired from Diabetes by millions of people.  It would only slow or stop
new diagnoses of Diabetes.  There'd still be a need for such specialists for
a few more decades or generations, I think.  And there are many other
diseases that go along with the systems of our body which Diabetes affects
or is affected by, which may not be cured along with Diabetes, if and when a
cure is found.  So I wouldn't worry too much.  Besides, their specialists in
one way or another and it wouldn't take much if anything in most cases for
them to get up to speed on another similar niche in the health industry.
Though the typical conspiracy theories would suggest that it could easily be
that the "huge drug manufacturers" don't really want a cure found.  Either
way, life goes on... for most of us.  ;-)


Strive On!
