Diabetes and Health Insurance , It is a necessity to have but for some people like me they cant afford it. What are they supposed to do? Die?.
Anyways I dont make enough to get insurance and the government says I work to many freakin hours and make to much freakin money and many wont accept you because you have diabetes. My Job doesnt offer benifits until you work 18 months and I am not even hit a year there yet but im getting there.
Somehow im surviving but not that much. I am lucky enough to get my pump sipplies from my nice cde at the local hospital and i use my dads humalog since he gets like 10 vials of humalog for 3 months and strips ( I hardly test) I admit that . But some people like me arent not so lucky to have others to depend on and it makes me wonder why does your government haver to be this bad

Walk to Cure Diabetes
Greetings!
I'm writing to you to ask for your support in a very special cause.
This year, I'll be taking part in the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation's Walk to Cure Diabetes along with a half-million other walkers across the country. Our goal: To raise $86 million to help fund research for a cure for type 1 diabetes and its complications.
Type 1, or juvenile, diabetes, is a devastating, often deadly disease that affects millions of people--a large and growing percentage of them children.
Many people think type 1 diabetes can be controlled by insulin. While insulin does keep people with type 1 diabetes alive, it is NOT a cure. Aside from the daily challenges of living with type 1 diabetes, there are many severe, often fatal, complications caused by the disease.
That's the bad news... and yes, it's pretty bad.
The good news, though, is that a cure for type 1 diabetes is within reach. In fact, JDRF funding and leadership is associated with most major scientific breakthroughs in type 1 diabetes research to date. And JDRF funds a major portion of all type 1 diabetes research worldwide, more than any other charity.
I'm writing to ask for your support because now more than ever, EACH of us can be a part of bringing about a cure. Each of us can make a real difference
Won't you please give to JDRF as generously as you're able?
Together, we can make the cure a reality.
Thank you,
Laura Cackowski
