Terrie, I watched the progrsm but it seemed to me that the young diabetic had more of a problem with depression and lack of confidence than diabetes. I think his depressed state of being preceded his diagnosis and that is why he was not taking care of himself and running very high blood sugar. I am concerned that nondiabetics and newly diagnosed diabetics might have been given the idea that his reaction to diabetes is typical. I didn't like the show, it gives false impressions. It was kind of like he was a depressed young man who just happened to have diabetes and that just added to his depression.
