Kiss Diabetes Goodbye

Wouldn’t we love to kiss diabetes goodbye?

Boy, I would. I could kiss the cost, the stress, the misunderstanding, the pain, the body changes, the isolation, and the restrictions goodbye in an instant! I wouldn’t hesitate.

The great thing about being alive today is that we don’t just have to sit around and wait for something to happen. We can make it happen.

For the last several years, we have rec’d nothing but lip service from the current administration in regards to diabetes care. Diabetes continues to grow. And isn’t it sad, since for the last several years people keep saying we are close to a cure. Quite simply, we need more than lip service.

If you want to “kiss diabetes goodbye,” log on to the American Diabetes Assocation’s petition page. The petition will be delivered along with the ADA’s health reform policy position to the next president in January 2009. The ADA states that “The new Administration needs to know that diabetes is serious and its complications are serious and deadly.”

I couldn’t agree more. How about you? Sign the petition, and then forward the link to your friends.
