I’m supposed to write about diabetes today.
A disease is generally just that until it touches you personally; then it become the most detestable of them all.
There probably wouldn’t be a cure for diabetes in my lifetime – I know it’s a sad and defeatist outlook.
My hope however is that whatever we’re doing today is working towards a cure. And when the cure finally comes it would be through all our efforts.
For anyone out there living with diabetes… keep on keeping on.

An estimated 21 million Americans have adult-onset, or type II diabetes, and another 54 million have a condition called pre-diabetes where blood sugar levels remain abnormally high even after fasting. As per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, one in three Americans born in 2000 will develop diabetes, an incurable disease that can lead to blindness, kidney failure, heart disease, and other serious debilitations.
