Diabetes

It has been about ninty years since the first injection of insulin to a person with type one diabetes and people in the UK celebrate the scientist and doctor who made this breakthrough. Before this breakthrough type one diabetes was killing almost everyone who ended up with it. There was no cause and no cure for it and almost everyone who got it was dead within a few weeks of being diagnosed. Scientists have come a long way since this first shot of insulin but they still have a long way to go. It is the leading cause of blindness and they have a 7% chance of birth defects. Women who suffer from diabetes and men for that matter do not only suffer from diabetes but all the things that could happen to them because of diabetes. Scientists have been studying for years on diabetes and they still have so much to learn. Apmutations still happen and people still go into diabetic comas. Scientists should be working to find better ways to manage not only the disease but also the syptoms that come along with it. Until they find a way to prevent things like hearing loss and birth defects in children because of diabetes, and until they have it cured, scienctists should not stop working on breakthroughs.
