A healthy dose of cynicism

By | 14 January, 2010

Here at ShootUp we believe a healthy dose of cynicism is as important a part of living well with diabetes as insulin, carb counting and a balanced helping of optimism. 

I’ve already admitted the cardinal sin of not being excited about a cure and questioned whether the sexiness of finding a cure distracts us from providing decent care today.  Now it seems that there are more super cynical Brits around.

Fellow Brit Caroline is a little underwhelmed by the hype around the artificial pancreas. I’ve been meaning to write an article about the issues facing the artificial pancreas for a while, but this one is a really well thought out look at the reality of the situation that I certainly couldn’t improve on. Enjoy!
