Oh, I will and yes, the law needs to be changed.
Your Gandhi story reminds me of a book called "In Defense of Hypocrisy" by Jeremy Lott
Wouldn't you want me to tell your kids to not do heroin, even if I was, in fact, sticking a needle in my arm every night? Makes Gandhi sound pretty immoral if you ask me. I also want to recommend a book for you. "The End of Diabetes" by Dr. Joel Fuhrman.

I have read all his work. Also "How not to Die" by Dr. Michael Greger

Best of luck. Please check them out.
You failed to grasp that my diabetes did not come from poor eating habits or obesity. The damage that was done was in the treatment of my primary service connected condition through the taking of a pill prescribed to me by a doctor. The manufacturers agreed, in writing, with this back in 2001 that their product can lead to permanent diabetes, even if the patient had no prior family history of diabetes. It is one to say because someone is obese and acquire diabetes, it is another to acquire diabetes in the treatment of another condition. So please keep the links to yourself, the damage is permanent and irreversible. I have had to fight the VA to get this as a secondary condition. For years afterwards the VA has maintained that no pill can cause diabetes. It took the challenge of several claims and appeals and finally the pestering of a Congresswoman to get it changed. Now if you had that tenacity and perseverance, instead of hope, then maybe you could get the law changed. It takes action in addition to words to get the job done. If you sit back and complain and moan and hope the law will change, it will be like hoping you win the lottery without ever buying a ticket. Action speaks volumes.
