Quote:We're still only disagreeing on cost. Diabetes is the most prevelent preventable disease in America, people just need to live right to avoid it in most cases. That's pretty easy to do with good habits, but we don't like that because it's hard, not because it costs too much. Diabetes is a disease of abundance, not scarcity. So we get thousands of unnecessary dollars in medical costs to treat the consequences. That's what has to change if we are really interested in bending the cost curve.

It's not totally preventable...Much like cancer you can do things to try to prevent yourself from getting it, but there is no actual way to stop it from happening...There are many articles claiming that you can prevent diabetes, but nothing is 100% effective...Brushing your teeth with fluoride toothpaste will help prevent cavities, but you can still get them...Now you are just trying to be an [BLEEP] so I'm done with this...we need to get back on topic anyway
