I've been diabetic for 30 years. This is the most jacked up form of cure. Supress your immune system. Great so Now I'll be free of diabetes, but I'll have to live in a bubble. Frack that. So instead of paying for insulin, I'll be paying for immune supression drugs. Jackasses. Fix the T-cells that are jacked up in my system. You did it, you made me take Flu vac, that jacked my T-cells, just so you could make money. Well, frack off. Take your so called money making schemes and inject yourself with them. Monkeys. My DNA has been jacked by the government…they hate diabetics because they cannot figure out a way to kill us. IGNORE THE WEAK. Frack them, there patetic attempts to controll us….don't you let them do it. Go Guerilla Diabetic. Know that you are better than all of them. Don't let them frack with you.

We have been listening to same old, same old for the past 24 years……let’s face it…the cure comes down to money. Drug companies would lose billions of dollars if a cure was found. So…as long as the drug companies are in control…a cure won’t be found…unless it includes something the diabetic would need to purchase. A Diabetes specialist, many years ago, told us that…and my opinion is they were right on the money. And may I add (a very sarcastic thank you) to the drug companies for the years my children have had to spend dealing with this disease and the many years to come. I hope I win a large Powerball jackpot someday…I would fund a cure!

My 5 year old son was diagnosed on 12/12/09. As it would appear this stem cell research will not be available in the US before this window of newly diagnosed of my soon is over, would it be possible to take Stem Cell or blood or whatever from my son NOW and store/freeze or preserve it some way, that this could be used in subsequent years, when this treatment is perfected or available in the US?
