I hate to be a sour puss but I speak my mind…
My concern has to do with this being just a publicity stunt for Oprah. When she really cares about a topic she goes completely out for it. It is not enough to report that diabetes exists and it is getting worse. Most of the ignorant people know that. What I am concerned with is she planning on doing a monthly check up on diabetes? 15 years ago when she was on this weight loss kick she dedicated a whole year to weight loss. She had monthly shows and programs dedicated to weight loss. I think she was even visiting cities with her weight loss plan. If she would do this then I would say she did something very good. Otherwise it is good she did something but i would not hope for the world to be changed.
I didn’t see the show but did say anything about Type 1? Most of the comments seem to be type 2 based. If this is so… I expect all the Type 1’s to write the show and complain. Don’t blab about on tudiabetes but go to Oprah’s magazine and website and make your voice be heard about Type 1.
