Not too long ago, George Bush vetoed his first bill after 5, 1/2 years of serving for our country as president. The bill he vetoed did not allow stem cell research to be funded properly by the government, while the many millions of people like me could be cured from the research. His main reasons for vetoing the bill had to do with cloning, and us being a Christian country. Following this announcement, George Bush recieved a standing ovation. I am 15 years old. I have had Diabetes for 10 years, and this comming March of 2008 will be my 11th. year. Diabetes is more than just a life threatening disease. It’s you’re life… period. But there is hope. The JDRF (Juvenille Diabetes Research Foundation) holds a Walk-to-Cure-Diabetes every year in Siesta Key Beach, Florida. They raise millions of dollars a year and span to over 200 locations around the Earth. Diabetes can be cured across America with proper funding from organizations, the government, and people like you. Now this video isn’t meant to scare people that have diabetes. Truth is, if you’re careful and listen to your doctors, you can live a long, happy, and healthy life. It’s not always easy, but you can always do something about it to control your sugar more and be healthier than you can ever be. there’s always something you can do, and it’s a good feeling! tinyurl.com Barack Obama supported Stem Cell Research! Thank you, Mr. Obama! You’ve given hope to millions of people like me. Thank you! Resource: tinyurl.com …

@toastytoast3919 When i was sent to the hospital. My blood sugar was 71.1 mmol/L. And People usually go into commas at 28-35 mmol/L.
@toastytoast3919 Go to the Doctor if you may be worried. And when I became Diagnosed. I had lost 16 lbs in 2 days, couldnt eat anything, Because i would just puke it up for 2 days. and For about a month I was dehydrated like crazy. After i finished a pop or drink, I would need another. And would sometimes wake up to go pee in the middle of the night around 4 times. And I started getting really weak. The Normal blood sugar for a person is between 4 and 8 mmol/L.
i feel dizzy occasionally and i feel pressure in my head and ears. is this a sign of diabetes?
cont……..Disorders are un-natural / man-made. Albert Einstein said : “You can’t solve a problem with the same mind that created it.”
edit: I was just on a diabetes forum. Seems a lot of them aren’t willing to even give up wine, or certain foods. I’ll give up now.
@Gary1111001
I understand your sentiment, and it is sound advice, however those using insulin can’t stop using it and focus on a healthy diet. All food, no matter what it is, is, in essence, sugar.
With Type 1, the immune system itself, attacked the pancreas, killing the beta cells, thinking it was a foreign invader.
Of course, healthy lifestyles are veyr beneficial, but are in no way, a cure, or a fix.
I’ll rephrase: Maybe if the BODY is given the chance, under proper conditions, the pancreas can heal. It’s all connected. And the pancreas is still alive; just not doing anything.
When I mentioned juice therapy, I wasn’t focusing on carbs. I’m completely going AROUND the problem; focusing on a natural solution: the beneficial substances in the veggies. and the absence of man-made junk heals the body.
@Gary1111001
I am not sure where you get your facts, but there is as much sugar carbs in all forms of juices as well.
Juice therapy is great for weight loss, and MAYBE for Type 2’s, but is totally irrelevant for Type one, NOW and in the future.
Do you realize how many carbs are in all forms of juices, natural or otherwise?
And you can’t go 100percent sugar free, because you’ll die. You still need sugar to live, period.
@Gary1111001
You obviously don’t understand Type 1 diabetes at all.
The pancreas is already on a “break” or a “rest”. It is already not doing anything when you eat. That is what Type 1 is. It doesn’t work, period.
As for whether or not you eat fresh fruit or canned, or whatever, carbs are carbs, and every single carb needs to be covered by insulin, via MDI or a pump, and taxes the pancreas as much as any other carbs if working.
Everything converts to sugar, and has to be addressed.
“Maybe it can if given the chance, under proper conditions.”
What I’m saying is: if the pancreas gets rest(fasting, raw/fruit diets), or the proper nutrients(juice therapy), it might work as meant to.
@Gary1111001
LIke I said.
“At the moment”.
I am aware this is not possible NOW.
I am literally obsessed with diabetes and insulin, and eat up as much knowledge as I can about both.
“Your body cannot kickstart the pancreas again.”
Maybe it can if given the chance, under proper conditions.
“Once the beta cells die, there is no fix. ”
The experts believed – a few years ago – that brain cells couldn’t repair themselves. Then it was discovered they could.
ditto for eye damage.
Throughout history, people believed in things that were not true. Experts were wrong about a lot of things………and still are.
@Gary1111001
Gary,
Do you know the difference between T2D and T1D?
Type 1 is autoimmune and is genetic. Type 1 and Type 2 are the same disease in name only, pretty much.
Your body cannot kickstart the pancreas again. Once the beta cells die, there is no fix. Just MDI, or pumping. At the moment anyway.
@ZaraTGgirl
Why are you alive just barely?
Are you pumping or on MDI?
I have been a type 1 diabetic for 17 years as of November 5th, 2009. I know and understand………..i am alive, but barely.
I agree with this video, and I’ve shown it to all my peers to inform them. This vid actually helps whoop me into shape to help me regulate sugars better.
Also, who agrees that there is WAY to much emphasis on fucking Nick Jonas? Nothing against him but these fans just don’t realize he’s not the only diabetic for gosh sake!
MAYBE…we should all believe in scientology and eat the placenta our new born children…it’s the same thing right? I recently got diagnosed type 1 diabetic and i’m fifteen and i’m not fussed. Jesus, you make it sound way more horrible than it actually is.
Don’t focus on the disease; focus on reversal through health (the body has the ability to heal itself if given the chance..
Forget Politics, scientists and doctors….
and trust in your source: Mother Nature.
I’m a health expert of 15 years. I don’t even get colds anymore, and have no fear of that pig flu.
- “type one diabetes can’t be avoided”
But…..that’s what scientist used to think about all disease. Meanwhile, everyone’s eating an un-natural diet.
I suggest to all – Because what you focus on expands, don’t focus on the disease but on reversal through health (the body has the ability to heal itself if given the chance..
Ok here’s the thing though. A cure for diabetes via stem cell research is the holy grail of human accomplishment right now. That means that a HUGE number of private investors are selling their souls to get a piece of it. There’s so much money in the private sector going to stem cell research that the only thing I can see the government doing is slowing down the process until it’s got so many silly rules that we can’t do anything. We can get stem cells EASILY without abortion and we have done it!
how successful would a huge medical development like stem cell research possibly advance without government funding? george bush branded stem cells with a bad name. he slowed down the process at the very VERY least, and that’s just dumb.
also, stem cells come from clinics and would have otherwise been thrown away. why the hell would anyone discourage recycling something that can cure diseases?
Ok, first of all, Bush didn’t stop stem cell research. He stopped GOVERNMENT FUNDING of any kind of EMBRYONIC stem cell research. He still allowed private companies to pursue that cause but said that the government won’t support it. Non-embryonic stem cells, however, were still allowed and have been used to fight diabetes and I must say, it’s looking good! I’m a type 1 myself and I look forward to a cure, but if we have to abort kids to get stem cells, then I don’t want a cure
kgirl2007, i totally agree with you. i can’t remember life without diabetes either(diagnosed at age 4) and i’ve always wondered what it would be like to not have it
Cool…in a weird kinda way : )…. so how you getting on with it? You on a pump or injecting?
Of course there’s a need for one as far as we (diabetics) are concerned…BUT… lets face it…we’re worth more to pharmaceutical companies now that we have diabetes than if we didn’t! Money rules the world. Sad but true!
I’m totaly with you on this one……I have diabetes, IT doesn’t have me!
