Isn't diabetes Type 1 (which I am guessing is what happened here) caused by a mutation in the body that causes the insulin producing beta cells to be attacked by the body and not due to overdose of sugar? Anyway, sad fic is sad :'(

I've never understood why diabetes makes people sad beyond perhaps that they can't eat what they want.

We're already dependent on air, water, and a variety of calories and nutrients. Adding insulin to the list of dependencies might be a complication, but you're still possessed of all the basic physical faculties necessary for regular human existance.

My cousin has had type 1 (the more severe variety) diabetes since very early childhood. Though it has strained his parents to monitor him so closely his entire life, he wisely sees it as just one more necessary physical input. Perhaps growing up with the condition has been a disguised blessing, since he knows of no time when he did not need the shots and so does not think them strange.

Over cosumption of sugar can break your pancreas, since it is the responsible for producin insulin, that are used for the cells to absorb the sugar (glicose? glicosis? Don't know the term in english, sorry.).
If you cinsume too much sugar during your life, you can ruin your pancreas, causing diabetes type 2.
And since your pancreas will never be recovered, and you will need insulin shots to absorb the sugar in your body, you will never again taste your bad eating habits.

So, if you wanna eat your sweets, never go overboard, exercise regurlaly and have a balanced diet.

Also, if diabetes run in your family, it also means you have higher chances to develop type 2, so be carefull.

I was sad until that last line. Then I got very, very angry.

If anyone were fucking trying to cure diabetes or cancer or AIDS we'd have had a fucking cure years ago.

I've heard from my own fucking endocrinologist that the only reason there isn't a cure for diabetes yet is because the drug companies know if they cure it, they won't be able to rake in the enormous profits they get off of selling glucometers, test strips, needles, insulin pumps, insulin, glucose tablets, lancets, and all the other shit you're forced to buy unless you feel like dying, going blind, or becoming an amputee at the age of 30.

Anyway, fuck Type I Diabetes, and fuck anyone who thinks it's not a serious enough ailment for it to necessitate a cure.

^ You are correct. Actually, according to some farmaceutical companies, the cure to diabetes is already known.
But without the pacients to buy the medications, the medical industry would take a huge blow, so they are not interested in curing it.

Is this supposed to be a retouch on this other comic, or is it basically an alternate version of the same thing? >>36745

I honestly found the other version a lot more heartbreaking, simply from the fact that Pinkie was still putting everything she had into keeping up a brave face, whereas this one she just kinda gives up.

I have my doubts about the whole claim of 'a cure'. I understand that a fair few people get royally screwed because pharmaceutical companies try to stay economically viable.
(And yes, some companies pull out some rather morally-questionable tricks to make a profit.)

However, diabetes... is not easy to cure. Basically either the body no longer responds to insulin properly (type 2) or insulin production is reduced/destroyed (type 1). Either way, it can't be cured through drugs, so one can hardly blame the pharmaceutical industry.

Type 1 can potentially, in some cases, be cured through surgery through a pancreatic transplant, though.

So in short: Edudls and Silversoul are directing their rage at the wrong target. Instead, consider raging at people who haven't filled in their donor cards yet. A valid donorcard can, in the case of your unfortunate death, still save a person from a long life of insulin-dependancy.

And that's before counting all your other organs.

Edudls, you're full of shit. About cancer and AIDS cure, oh my fucking god you're so retarded, read something about the topic before you make cretinous comment that nobody looks for a cure (and there's no such thing as "cure for cancer" and there never will be one, because cancer is not a single disease; main cause of cancer is the fact that we eliminated almost all other diseases, and cancer at the old age is something natural and unavoidable - but you wouldn't know that, would you). About the diabetes, well, maybe it's possible to find a cure. I don't know, and guess what, you don't know either because you have no education in the field. Someone manipulated you into believing things. But let's say it's possible to find a cure for diabetes - why the fuck should anyone do that? It's not a serious disease, and the research is horrendously expensive. You want companies to give their own money so you can be cured? Fuck you, nothing is for free. If you had enough money, you could fund the research, but you don't, so fuck off and die while I will be eating shit-ton of chocolate and drinking tea with 6 spoons of sugar in it.

I'm not sure if I've got all the terminology correct as I only know someone who had Diabetes and never really did research on it, but sometimes they get "Insulin reactions" as I believe they're called. But I don't know if that's the proper word for it.

These "reactions" may result in a large amount of irrational and nonsensical behavior, such say repeating the word hungry after having grabbed a knife until they just start repeating it in Spanish. And not knowing what year it is...

It is rather scary really.

@Sparkleberg & Applebaum: Sooooo... Since Edulds dudn't actually say anything directed to your names, your savage, intolerant and cruel attack against diabetic people raises the question as to "Why do you think people with diabetes should suffer?" and "Why did you even get offended?"

^I get offended too if people rant about things they did not spend some time doing research on, which is what i'm guessing sparkleberg felt. There isn't actually a cure to any of the 3 diseases that Edulds mentioned and like sparkleberg said, cancer is not a single disease which is why there is no universal cancer cure except for those few specific ones, which as the name implies, specific to certain cancers. About every drug company have pulled off morally-questionable tricks to profit. However, there isn't much to blame them for there being no cure for diabetes which is what Edulds is saying. With that said, implying that people with diabetes should suffer is really uncalled for and it doesn't help with your case if you are rude about it.

@Silversoul666: Well, diabetic (sounds suspiciously similar to 'diabolic') people should suffer because they obviously did something abominable to deserve their condition. Not so abominable as that member of your family who died of cancer though.

@Silversoul666 - diabetic people should suffer because they're constatly ranting about their diabeetes. They want us to feel bad about eating gargantuan amounts of sugary goodness, they are like dogs in a manger. Diabetics hate us, healthy people, because we can eat chocolate and cake. They live sorrowful, joyless lifes, sucking up all happiness from the world. I will not let that happen - NOT ON MY WATCH, DIABETICS.

See. You ruin anything you tried to teach with that posture.
You sound too offended and butthurt to be taken seriously.
Also, ignorant, since it was mentioned before that diabetes CAN be caused as an effect of auto-immune disease, where the body attacks the pancreas.
You are saying, in your stupid ignorance, that such people should also suffer, because it was their fault, and if you had done your so-called research, you would know that is not necessarily true.

@Edudls I agree. It's the stupid and sad truth of it that diabetes and cancer are both big business for the drug companies.

I'm not sure about diabetes, but for cancer at least, there are some REALLY good alternatives to traditional radiation treatment and chemo. Ever heard of the Hoxsey formula? It was banned in the US for NO legitimate, good reason, most likely just because it was threatening big business, because it's probably the closest thing to a cancer cure out there (coupled with changing your diet and lifestyle). Luckily, alternatives do seem to be picking up in the US, and people seem to be getting more educated about it.

Again, haven't done much research into diabetes, but I'm willing to bet that if you can't cure diabetes, you can at least get very close, just by changing your diet and lifestyle (pretty drastically probably).

@Twilight_Sparkleberg Cancer really is not a 'natural and unavoidable' thing. It is VERY avoidable. Where do you think people get it from in the first place? Mainly, it's all the chemicals we have in our homes, workplaces, and even food anymore. Did you know MSG is a cancer causing agent, as well as aspartame (used in 'diet' sodas), and countless other supposedly harmless food additives? People really need to educate themselves about this sort of thing, because it's just sad when I hear someone talking about cancer, and they think the only treatment is to pump themselves up with more chemicals. I'm not saying it won't help, but there are BETTER alternatives out there, and the best cure is always prevention. Please do some research on the subject before cussing people out that you don't agree with.

Love and tolerance everypony....love and tolerance. :)

@Mudpuppy Haven't heard much about Hoxsey formula except that it was considered crap and had no peer review done on it. But if you do have any links to any documentation of Hoxsey formula and its success rate please share. I like to read about it.

MudPuppy - oh Celestia what is this I don't even. You're promoting myths, lies and overall stupidity. Hoxsey therapy is a scam, there are no records of anyone being ever cured by it. Scientific study has proven that there's no connection between aspartame and cancer. Are you implying no-one ever got cancer before modern times? How cute. You're partially responsible for every person that died on cancer because they refused conventional treatment on behalf of some shady "natural cure". Princess Celestia would send you to the Moon.

I strongly encourage skeptics to give it a shot too. There is a cure out there, it just takes a bit of researching into.
