I feel the same! They will do EVERYTHING for diabetes, and pay, but when you really need the help, that might cure or resolve the issue, it becomes your fault you are this way. Even though millions of studies show that it can be hereditary...I was ADOPTED, so how in the world was I supposed to know!!!!!!
