Video de Not too long ago, George Bush vetoed his first bill after 5, 1/2 years of serving for our country as president The bill he vetoed did not allow stem cell research to be funded properly by the government, while the many millions of people like me could be cured from the research His main reasons for vetoing the bill had to do with cloning, and us being a Christian country Following this announcement, George Bush recieved a standing ovation None of the new canidates have spoken about stem cell research except Ron Paul, and he disagreed to fund the research

Q and A about Diabetes
Q What is Diabetes?
A Your body turns food into energy using insulin Insulin is made by the pancreas and allows the sugar to be used by your body Diabetes is a chronic disease where you're pancreas slows down or stops functioning Without insulin, the sugar stays in your bloodstream However, with too much insulin, you won't have reserve energy for standing, walking, and sometimes your body can't keep warm with low blood sugar I have to monitor my blood sugar levels several times a day and take insulin from shots to make sure my blood sugar levels don't go too high or too low
Q Does Diabetes happen to fat people?
A Not all types of Diabetes happen to obese people Type 1 (Juvenille Diabetes) is hereditary, so you can't prevent it It takes over you as a child or teen Type 2 Diabetes occurs in obese people or old people, whose pancreas's aren't strong enough to meet the demands for insulin
Q Does it go away?
A No It is a lifelong disease It's impossible to avoid completelly without the stem cell procedure
Q What is life like as a Diabetic?
A Normal Just a different kind of normal I take shots and go to the doctors once every couple months, but I'm not stripped of my life I have a diet and I have to watch what I eat, but I can still eat my favorite foods once in a while
Q The diet you have a diet?
A Well, I need to regulate my blood sugar levels My diet is as followed don't take too much sugar when you're blood sugar level is high, and drink sugar (it has to be a drink, food takes too long to digest) when your blood sugar level is low I eat snacks during the day and 3 meals You can't skip any meals or snacks, or else you'll feel it
Q You feel your blood sugar levels?
A Yes When my blood sugar is high, It's harder for me to pay attention or work properly I feel warm and hyper Sometimes I'll be agressive When I'm low, I feel shakey and cold, but usually hungry I might start sweating and feel very tired Sometimes I feel dizzy, if it goes down far enough (thank goodness it doesn't!)
Q What's considered normal blood-sugar wise?
A The units for blood sugars are measured in mg of sugar per dL of blood 80-120 is normal, but it may go between 60-160 depending on how much you eat or exersize I go between 100-200 for the most part, but I have had numbers as low as 35 and as high as 500
Q I never knew you were a diabetic! How come you didn't say so before?
A As much as I love to educate people about the disease, I'm not different from anyone else on Youtube I'm still a human being I might need more time on tests or medical attention when I'm exersizing vigerously, but it's not like I'm a different person! I live my life differently, that's all
Q What was that bracelet in the last picture?
A That's my Medic Alert bracelet on my bed If I pass out from my blood sugars going too low or too high, then the paramedics will be able to see that I'm a diabetic, and they may be able to wake me up with glucagon (think of it as sugar-in-a-bottle) or an insulin shot
Q What can I do to help? Where can I learn more?
