Mine as well.  Thank you John. I am a juvenile diabetic who was diagnosed at
age 7.  Luckily at 23 I am healthy and managing it.  Many I know aren't and
are suffering.  I would certainly rather have diabetes than cancer or other
"worse" diseases, but spending so much on treating and so little on curing
doesn't make much sense to me either.

Thanks for the post.
