Hopefully, they will find a cure for this awful disease very soon.
There is increasing hope that diabetes and its complications can be cured as significant research progress has been made. I hope and pray for the best for John Karlen, and also for permanent, positive control of his diabetes. At the bottom of my post, it says "Walk To Cure Diabetes". This is a worldwide team building fund raiser, I am involved in regarding Craig Slocum. In honor of him, I am a member of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation International,
www.jdrf.org.
I participate in the annual Walk To Cure Diabetes, with the Nevada Chapter here in Las Vegas. It is held in September. Craig Slocum passed away on September 12, 1978. My funds raised, go in memory of him. I also go to the annual Diabetes Festival, held in October, at the Diabetes Treatment Center in one of the hospitals here. They piloted a cookbook project. Bon Appetite!
I have a number of books on diabetes. I knew very little about the disease until a few years ago. Thanks for the info about John Karlen, I will send him a get-well card. While there is no cure for diabetes as yet, it can be controlled. The main goal of diabetes treatment is to keep blood glucose levels as close to the normal range as possible. The treatment used to control blood glucose levels depends on the type of diabetes a person has.
