We present a few pictures of the dozens upon dozens of American Diabetes
Association (ADA)
Expo attendees who joined FAIR at our Phoenix, Arizona exhibit booth
recently, and we join
with all exhibitors in being most grateful to their ADA Market Manager,
Mary Mendola, for the
commendable manner in which she handled the exhibitors and
thousands of attendees.
A diabetic or family member joined FAIR every 4 minutes for 6.5 full
hours in protest of
bio-medical research funding for diabetes of $39 per patient compared
with $3,052 for each
HIV/AIDS patient even though diabetes kills more Americans than AIDS and
breast cancer
combined. FAIR pointed out that in the most recent AZ reporting period,
HIV/AIDS deaths
have fallen to 33 for the full year compared to well over 1,100 for
diabetes. We thank all
the new members for their support on this issue and for our efforts to
achieve new
organ-donor policies to reverse America's organ-donor crisis of 75,000
patients with kidney
illness waiting for the "Gift of Life" and one on that list dying every
82 minutes.

blindness was
caused by his Type 1 diabetes. He and all other diabetics would benefit
greatly from
more bio-medical research distributed in a fair and equitable manner
without favoritism
for HIV/AIDS
