I carry almost my "diabetic life" (28 years) listening to those arguments and I have never agreed with the theories of the global conspiracy of pharmaceutical multinationals who want to bury everything that is invented ..Sincerely, they seem pueriles.I imagine Mr. Burns trying to buy an investigation from a team of scientists and keeping it in a drawer.By God, let's be serious;Science is unstoppable, it has always been and always will be.Whoever gets some diabetes improvement is directly.And that is an obvious truth.
I think there are diseases for which we are simply not prepared to solve them with our current knowledge.And diabetes - despite being one of the most studied - is one of them.Summarizing a little, I would say that they have no fox idea of why it happens, or how to stop it or where to act to stop it.Simply, we have not reached that point of scientific progress.And meanwhile, then "patches".Yes. But I remind you that they are patches that are saving your life, gentlemen.I do not understand how you criticize all these advances that today allow you to be as you are.Several decades ago you would be quite fucked in a few years, speaking in silver.And if you are not now therefore we have advanced in medicines, knowledge, protocols, technology ... and everything applied to diabetes.See that many do not value the insulin that you get every day only blames it to the ignorance of those who have arrived at a much sweeter moment than the one who lived years ago.You do not know what it is - some here know it - put an insulin that begins to work two hours later, or a slow with such a strong beak that it had to "feed the beast" putting food at certain times so as not to have hypoglycemiaSafe.Measure glycemia with urine (which is after, let's not forget) ... Anyway, there are so many small, but important things ... that have made complications much today and life expectancy is higherand with better prognosis.
What I think is an important improvement and it will be the next diabetes revolution is continuous measurement.I think it is unstoppable and it is also inevitable that it ends up being financed by the SNS.They have improved a lot and has also helped Abbott have revolutionized the market with its free, which is not only the most accurate, but the cheapest.That is, if you want, you can.
Hello, you are right in what you say, I do not doubt it ... but I speak of my experience, and for my experience, in 18 years, what has said, advances that come to us by our health, almost 0 (as you say, it can beThat it arrived at a time of change ... Then it will be another who has seen the progress as your case and I do not doubt it -taking the photos of certain "pots" -, in my case, no).
Of course I am grateful ... Moreover, I am grateful to be in Spain, I would be missing more ... I imagine being diabetic in Somalia ... or some South American country, today, in 2014, and ... I suppose to cry.I speak of what I have and what I have lived.
The same thing there will be people who can talk about the work "work" when you worked for a "broth" dish and wage from sun to sun ... something that seems true to me ... however, those of our generation not onlyWe will not see advances, but we will surely see a setback, of course the 58 -year -old will say "it will not be so much" that we are much better than before ... but those who have lived a "sweet" moment see the setback in conditions in conditionslabor.Therefore, and I say it, I speak of my opinion, and my sensations.
About scientific advances, of course there will be, but I don't know if Machiavellian conspiracies or not ... or that Mr. Burns "buying" the other company and keeping research ... but notWe advance everything that should be, it is so.For example, ask yourself why have the flash sensor limited to 14 days?Because they have made an "effort" for that, being able to leave it "freely" (free, as the name implies) until the user checks that stops going well?Already ... surely (the pharmaceutics will say) it is for our good because over time it will cease to be precise, it will have greater differences ... and I tell you that it is very good but that if it goes wrong I already take it out I!And why do they not put a transmitter - in the case of Dexcom or Abbott with the Guardian - rechargeable?Do you buy 2 and the alternate for several days and that do it without any problem, load by contacts and voila ... or replaceable batteries?.CONSUMABLES ... That is not an advance ... It is a "advance" for them ... I want the "advances" for me.
On the revolution ... Honestly, for me, it has not arrived with the flash, I say it for the umpteenth time (and I repeat that it is my opinion, I may be wrong, because for me the revolution arrived almost 8 years ago) ... it will arriveWhen it costs 0, meanwhile, one more option (surely very precise, with problems common to other meters and with many limitations such as automation and alarms, which for some is vital -not all, of course -), more economical than others (Not as much as it may seem initially, I just say numbers a year and ... remember that we are in a country with a minimum interprofessional salary of about 690 euros).
But the revolution will arrive when we go to the pharmacy for our sensors at 50 cent we each box.At 240 euros each box, well ... are 240 euros (and another 370, that is worse, of course, but here it seems that we are and your more when we are all giving us and hard).
Companion Sherpa surely from my "fifth" sees the same ... but that it is clear that it is my experience ... before debuting, I had a diabetic friend who thought he put an injection up to date and ready!Moreover, I told my father "quiet, that it is only an injection, it is not for so much man" .... I did not know what I got into.
Greetings
