Good point. Obviously I'd like people to be working on how NOT to be a diabetic, but it is good that people are managing their illness, so they don't get the really horrible complications.

...but insufficient progress in prevention. Could it be the fact that more and more people are extremely overweight? I saw a brief program a few weeks ago about overweight America. It was appalling.

people are surviving every illness at a greater rate which means we are all living longer. The longer we live the more chance we have of getting cancer and developing diabetes as our bodies change with age. I think about 1 in 3 people will end up getting some form of cancer if they live long enough. Supposedly, all men will develop prostrate cancer if they live long enough. How long is enough? Living longer also exposes our bodies to an increased affect from all sorts of toxic substances in our environment. Increased life expectancy is creating a new set of health problems to solve.
