This sounds like media overhype to me. I understand that diabetes is a bad thing to have. My mother-in-law has it, but she does just fine with it. It seems like anytime something happens to someone with diabetes, it's always a secondary issue, meaning the diabetes was primary and "the cause" for everything else. I also wonder how sound the statistics are. I hate to be in the tin foil crowd, but stats really don't bother or scare me much anymore... 76% of all statistics are bullshit anyhow. *sigh*
