AKA_Monet,
Thank you so much for clearing that up for me!
As far as Type 2 diabetes, majority of people that are suffering severely are the African American, Latino and Native American populations.
I didn't know this! Thanks for that insight. It's a very interesting fact to know. My dad has been diabetic for 27 (almost 28) years with Type 2. My grandfather was type 1 and controlled his by diet, along with my father's sister (my aunt), but my fathers (to be honest) was set off by drinking too much when he was younger. NOTE: All those out there, remember that drinking can lead not only to alcoholism but other serious diseases such as diabetes!!! (as I step off my little soapbox)
But there are those out their that are clinging up the ladder to have their disease be worse that someone elses
I agree, and it's sad. I hope that I didn't come across as doing this. I was just curious and understand now. I'm glad you weren't offended.
And by the way, I'm getting married in 6 months. Instead of giving guests favors we are placing a card next to our guest book that reads:
"In honor of you, the guests, the Bride and Groom have made a donation in your names to The American Diabetes Association"
