TuDiabetes - A Community for People Touched by Diabetes

I was reading an article on cnn.com just now and by the second paragraph it has managed to completely trash diabetics.


"And then one day, she noticed a huge sore on the bottom of her foot. Like many diabetics, she has little feeling in her feet, so she had no idea what had caused the sore or even how long it had been there." http://www.cnn.com/2009/HEALTH/11/02/growing.skin/index.html

It looked like an interesting health article and the actual FACTS in the story were very cool, but it just comes with another example of how the media likes to portray us.
