The Oak Tree

When I read this question “One question the senators did not ask: how’s her health?” it got my attention.

Being a Type 1 insulin-dependent person since 1983, I was interested in why they were, or I guess in this case, NOT addressing this issue. My initial reaction was that she was probably just a Type 2 diabetic and the newspaper was just overreacting.

Quite the contrary…According to the article, she has been taking insulin injections daily since she was 8 years old.

Now, I guess the reason I am bringing this up is that insulin injections is not the best way to regulate your blood sugar and minimize diabetes complications. The insulin pump has been around for 25+ years, and is considered by far the BEST method to control diabetes for those of us who need an ‘outside’ source of insulin. I can personally testify to its effectiveness.

Here is the question: Why hasn’t our proposed Supreme Court Justice not availed herself of the latest technology to stay healthy?

What kind of other decisions can we expect from her?

Please comment and let me know what you think about this “hidden issue”.
