<div>There is no connection between sugar and Type I
diabetes. With Type I diabetes, the cells that make insulin
all die, pretty much all at once and never produce any
insulin ever again. The going theory is that your body
exhibits an immune response for some unknown reason which
targets those cells. It's not a slow death of those cells
due to sugar intake. I know this because I watched my mom
die from that terrible disease over the first 32 years of my
life. I also saw how embarrassed she was using her pump in
public.<br>

Please accept my condolences for your loss and your mom's
suffering. Also, please accept my thanks for elaborating the
differences between Types I and II diabetes and their causes. <br>

Precisely. And so we are returned to reconsideration of that
special Idaho talent for actions inherently damaging to its own
interests. This time it is raising awareness of the undesirable
effects of its agricultural crop beta vulgaris through the private
personage and the public persona of its chosen ambassadress, to the
potential financial disadvantage of some of its citizens and the
state coffers. On the other hand, the choice of Miss Sandison may
develop to the advantage of those persons everywhere who understand
the message implicit, and reduce their sugar consumption
appropriately.<br>

Yes, Idaho's got talent! This time it shows itself in the
juxtaposition of the choice of a person with Type I
diabetes to represent a state that annually produces
150,000 acres of genetically modified sugar beets.
Choosing a person whose beta cells have been modified to
disallow adequate insulin production to represent a state
whose agricultural crop beta vulgaris has been modified
for insecticide resistance to produce a substance that is
significantly assistive in inducing Type II diabetes is
almost, but not quite, too precious for promotion. Way to
go Idaho!<br>
