My wife has diabetes and it is a terrible disease. And to those of you who have to politicize it, you are really scum bags. It is a bipartisan issue and problem that needs to have both parties in tune to the needs of the people effected.

I have a daughter who has all the above! She has asthma, diabetes type 1 and allergies. I would love for someone to look into why asthma is becoming so wide spread amoung our children. When I was a child, I never even knew anyone that has asthma. Now, I think most people know at least 2 children that have asthma. Same with the allergies. I could be wrong here, but I feel that there is some connection with the increase of asthma in children and what we have done to our environment. I have fought these illness with my daughter for over 9 years now. It's a 24 hour job! When her asthma acts up, it also causes her diabetes to go crazy. There is no winning with children in these situations. And to me, this has become way to common. And I'd love to know why!

I was one of the children with asthma--in the fall when everyone would burn leaves, or when I would visit a town with pollution pouring out of smokestacks, I would have trouble breathing. And my great-grandmother and cousin have diabetes.

It was taboo to talk about it or admit it back then, so I kept quiet about it and hid in the girl's room to take any medication so no one ever knew--except those of us who had it seemed to notice and open up to each other and keep each other's secret.
I remember one girl whose diabetes was so serious that her mother came and picked her up and took her home for lunch every day so she would never eat school food. They had no way to refrigerate diabetes medication back then, either.
I live in a state that went smoke free in restaurants and most buildings, and it's been a godsend. I could usually control my minor asthma with drugs, but I haven't had to use them in years now. And people I knew who couldn't go out at all can now eat out. It's a new life for them.
On childhood diseases generally, I think overpopulation, leading to increased pollution is the main culprit. We need to stop the population explosion. It's killing us faster and faster.
