Research towards management and cure aside, I see many FFL'ers and online activists (including the still-token Type 2 and Type Other activists) forging a distinct "diabetes" culture. While it is not, nor is it likely to need to become, as culturally rich or as separate as Deaf culture, it still needs to embrace all ages ofBrenda Bellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05687718956610704894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5690084467070242215.post-55175313247938608792011-07-12T07:25:05.286-04:002011-07-12T07:25:05.286-04:00WOW...thank you for this.

I definitely s...Great post! Thanks for the recap!<br /><br />I definitely see the need to shift that focus. Because my little girl won't be little forever (no matter how I try to keep her small!). And she's going to need support then - if not more than now. Plus, I think the adults with D serve as wonderful role models and sourcs of support for both kids and parents.

I've see kids (high schoolers here) "grow out" of fundraising, so there does need to be a shift. : )Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13864147601205439993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5690084467070242215.post-26263304560417029092011-07-11T14:53:26.707-04:002011-07-11T14:53:26.707-04:00This is awesome news.

They made the right decision, I mean, they can increase funding by a great amount by representing that 86% and that benefits EVERYONE. Their previous stance was emotionally based and while I completely understand, the point is the end goal of a cure and a better life for all people Sysy Moraleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03126572364367187970noreply@blogger.com
