I will need to find this show on the web and check it out! I did not become diabetic until after age 40 so I don’t know how I would have acted at a young age. Diabetes is a real kick in the balls!! BTW Bill what do you think about the Paula Deen and Anthony Bourdain diabetes drama???

@MadBadVoodo I am sure you saw... but i did a Vid just yesterday on the Paula Deen. Too Bad YouTube doesn't allow links... but I am sure you saw it by now.

I saw the show and thought to myself when matt said would I rather my diabetes be better or my life be better? I honestly think that if you really want your life to be better you need to take the time to get the diabetes better. oh then the whole regular soda stuff made me go HUH? I mean who knows maybe they were low at the moment and needed a quick sugar.

I agree with basically everything you said Bill. Being around other diabetics would be one thing they could all use, showing that we do our own thing and control it. I think he was drinking regular pop cause he had seizures before but I usually do one regular drink mid way through my drinking to keep my blood sugars stable but everyone does it different.

MTV Real Life - I Have Diabetes portraying debt, family stipulations, medical confusion, emotional demands, and overall uncertainty in life dealing with diabetes is a cautionary tale. Without accepting your diabetes -- you are not willing to be responsible for your actions. You are awesome, Bill!!

In Australia over the last few years they have implemented healthy eating in schools. Cafeterias don't have pillows, chips, only limited icy poles etc and minimal greasy fried foods. The have main meals available eg stir fry, casseroles, salads, sandwiches etc. It's a great initiative and the teach the kids about most, sometimes and rarely foods at all stages of education. Hopefully we will see some change in the next generation ! :)
