Right now in the US, there are 84,881 people waiting for a kidney. For 2010, only 2,551 kidney transplanats have been done as of Feb. Now, that’s sad.

So, if the ADA could find a cure for diabetes, far fewer people would end up in kidney failure, and needing a transplant.

I was type 1 diabetic for 30 plus years; got a kidney and pancreas transplant in 2005.

The American Diabetes Association fund research to prevent, cure and manage diabetes, deliver services to hundreds of communities and provide objective and credible information so that the illness can be better understood and managed and treated.

People also forget that diabetes does kill millions worldwide each year but it doesn’t get as reported when it does like a death from cancer. Wtih as many people affected by diabetes in America as there are those affected by cancer the American Diabetes Assocation is really trying hard to combat this silent killer and so are a very worthy foundation to support.

While it isn’t a comprehensive listing of all the foods available, it does cover most of the food items one usually encounters on a regular basis. You won’t find exotic ingredients, for example, but you will find most of what you need.

I’d recommend this book for anyone serious about meal planning, whether diabetic or not.

I heard of one case where Video cassettes were being continually being sent for approval and the sender paid no attention to requests to stop, and the recipient packed up a brick and sent it with the pre-paid return label, the sender was furious as he had to pay quite a bit due to the weight, but he never sent any more cassettes.
