People with type 1 or 2 need to follow the CDC, MAYO Clinic and doctors’ advice and guidelines and EAT RIGHT. DIET IS IMPORTANT.
When he played for the Cowboys, he would host a camp for kids in the off season. Wore those kids out!
Seems to me they (Democrats) concentrated on only certain drugs, if that. My prescription drug costs haven’t gone down in any category that I can tell.
As far as that leftist Democrat insulin user saying Warnock needs to be Senator in my state, she can stuff it. She’s willing to sell out the whole damned state to knock off $5 off the price of HER medicine.
“-how does he know which of the two (insulin and diet) are keeping his diabetes in check.”
It’s both. It’s been both for at least 50 years.
I thought Herschel did an excellent job last night. I know several people with diabetes and diet is very important. They can’t just eat cake. They need to take their insulin and stay on a good diet every day.
The voters in Georgia have a choice between bad and worse. The sad thing is that one will win.
Please stop conflating the problems, travails, weaknesses, challenges, of those who suffer from Type I Diabetes with the problems, travails, weaknesses, challenges, of those who suffer from Type II Diabetes.
It almost never makes sense to mention these two afflictions in the same sentence when discussing lifestyle and food choice recommendations.
Do you see where you are arguably being unduly obstinate here?
Walker is not running against Warnock. He’s running against the media. Blabbing about a fiery subject that is a non winner and media cannon fodder- he’s feeding the media ammo
That’s not imperfect. That’s a bad campaign move. In October
I’m still hearing about how Trump wanted people to drink bleach. Isn’t Walker clued in to that? No. That is not imperfect.
Maybe someone can answer this question for me. Didn’t Trump have a program that drastically reduced the cost of insulin? I also remember hearing that Biden cancelled it through executive order within days after taking office.
“ Agreed. Better to remain silent and appear a fool, than to open one’s mouth and remove all doubt.”
Yes. Mark Twain said that.
“ borne of honest ignorance…”
There’s no room for that is this race. This year. No
“That patient ought to maybe see just how much of a life insurance policy the missus had him sign.”
Oh ya. My first thought.
Did you see that that answer wasn’t the full answer? Things like this are going to happen as we get closer to tyhe elections. Stay the course because face it, people already know who they are voting for.
You are correct, type 1 is insulin dependent and there is no cure. You can eat in such a way that you require less insulin but you will always be dependent on the injections.
The endocrinologist of my TWO type 1 children will be astounded to learn that type 1 is curable, reversible, or changeable.
Poor diet causing obesity (not a big issue for Type I Diabetics, who are the ones who fear high insulin prices) is the issue Walker was confusedly alluding to. Why not admit the mistake and move on rather than (arguably duplicitously) try to glean some few drops of wisdom from what he said out of honest ignorance? Which mistake, ignorance, and lazy failure of insight, by the way, he shares with probably millions of his fellow non-diabetic citizens who tend quite unfairly to drag Type I Diabetes sufferers into this indictment that is (largely justifiedly) aimed at Type II Diabetes sufferers.
How is this a blunder? he spoke down-to-earth and made perfect sense
I hope you are the last person in the foxhole.
Cost of insulin being unduly high is a brutal burden borne (often tragically unsuccessfully among financially hand-to-mouth patients) by Type I Diabetes sufferers, almost none of whom, by the way, are obese, but are often quite thin/slender. They fully deserve our sympathy, and as much relief from these high costs as can be provided, and should never have potshots fired at them, out of ignorance or otherwise.
Therefore, contrary to what you are suggesting, the cost of injectable insulin ***is*** a valid campaign issue. Walker needs to get up to speed on all of this, pronto before he gets another question for which he’s not prepared.
“Admitted that Biden had won the election.”
By virtue of the fact that he sits in the White House.
That is called trimming your sails. It matters not for this particular race, and why give the democrats venom to spew for the next three weeks and detract from the other issues. Evidently, the voters in Georgia are not very bright to support that anti-America, anti-white, in-the-bed-Biden buffoon he is trying to unseat. Just a few years ago he would not have garnered 25% support.
