Nowadays, you're left to figure it out and fend for yourself. A bit sad. Thanks for sharing the article. It's a pretty serious thing and unless we actually personally get affected with it, sadly it's not a concern to most people. Very sad though.

My grandparents and my mother had diabetes. My mother was actually taking 5 shots a day and is down to none which I could not believe. She does have permanent damage to her sight and liver though.
