I am not going to read your articles any longer, AND i may change my mind. I would perhaps do it just for a man like this, and to at least acknowledge his existance.

people like him do not exist, you know? They are alone, and discarded, AND they all think they are the only one. WHY? Well, first of all they don’t have AA meetings but even more so is the fault of these stupid diaBETES magazines like ‘Diabetes Forecast’ a diabetic is likely to pick up in the waiting room and whose only ‘line’ (what they care about, is) about the long distance runner who so perfectly manages his diabetes, and Miss America who is so positive and motivated about her diabetes, and all about success, and motivation and ….as if they are all on speed. Amen.

BTW, I have lived for 35 years with the above and i know more than anyone on the subject.
A plus B may be related to C (death) but in -between has a life of it’s own, and the equation is meaningless, and hardly says all about the patient.

What’s the point of throwing out these ‘loaded’ subjects and then abandoning a reader like this who obviously commented for powerful reasons and not just ‘chit chat’.

I am once again sorry I am coming several years too late…and now this man may be dead, for all I know.

I would have responded to this man without a question. more so, he NEEDED a response more than anything!
