There’s an estimated 20 million folks with diabetes, about 1/3 haven’t been diagnosed or treated. 5th leading cause of death.

I don’t know if this ad goes too far but it seems reasonable to have a public info campaign on the subject

If diabetes “causes amputations in another 3,000” yearly do they mean to tell us they couldn’t fine someone for the ad who’d really lost his leg to the disease? Weird to me and I can’t blame the actor for being upset.

95% of all amputations I took care of in the hospital were from diabetes. Uncontrolled especially it kills early. I learned to give diabetes great respect as to what it can do to the human body including blindness..
