Diabetes

[Jodie!]

Well I have had type 1 diabetes since i was 5 and they have been trying to find a cure for it for a few years now and I just seen on the news and they have a artifical pancrease and they put it inside you and it just works like a normal pancrease they are testing it on this boy for a year to see if it works. It would change my life so much and i'm sure all the other diabetics would be so much more happier if they fount a cure

Sounds great. My uncle is diabetic so i know what a pain it is. He has to take god knows how many tablets and inject himself and check his blood sugar like 4 times a day!! And he has no energy. If this works then thats great. Fingers crossed.

Both my grandads are diabetic, I only know one of them thou becuase the other ones a gazillionaire in america or something so screw him I dont care.
But the one here doesnt go thru much as far as his diabeties are conserned anyway, he just takes tablets... He doesnt check his blood sugar anymore thou I dont know why he just cant be bothered with it anymore, but aslong as he takes his tablets I guess he will be alright.

My sister is diabetic, type one, and it is so hard for us when she has moods and refuses to take injection. My granddad when he was 16 got type 1 diabetes, and had it throughout his life (but he is dead now, god rest his soul )

I will show this to my sister and mum!

I went through a bad time where I couldnt be botherd with my diabetes and I started missing injections but i'm now back in control. If this artificial pancreas happens then it will change my life so much

i have a close friend who has this & im sure she will be very glad to hear of this development. it is pretty common now and it would be good for something like this to take effect and help lots of people.

Diabetes research for cures have been going on for more than a few years ''/ and there is actually cures already proven to work by things like using stems cells but wont become public for a long time so don't dwell on these cures and just get on with your life.
