[QUOTE="GrantGam, post: 1313115, member: 295621"] Globally, we have the knowledge and "finances" to send astronauts into outer space and land on our own moon... We have sent robots to Mars; and satellites further afield - exploring our Cosmos when we barely know anything about our own planet!? I find it amusing how we had the "basic tech" to get to the moon in the 60's, but we still have not found an answer for definite prevention or a cure for diabetes... I think if the right organisations and respective brains worked towards such a goal; the results would be astounding! Maybe too boring for the corporate giants and/or not lucrative enough. Children growing up may dream of going to space one day, and good for them - aim high, dream big! I however, just want to eat a sandwich without an injection.... It's not much to ask, and something 21st century man is MORE THAN capable of. It's just a shame that chronic diseases are boring and not as lucrative as other first world pursuits. Shame really. Honestly though, if we keep up the current mediocre attitude towards researching towards a cure. How long are we going to have to wait? It's clear that in the privatised, profit driven Western world that we live - medical giants WILL NOT work together to find an answer to diabetes. The problem which is ruining the lives of millions of people! Rant over, lunch time! Better not forget to bolus for my sandwich though...:) [/QUOTE]
