Dumb Or Tricked

This is a documentary dealing with A crisis that has taken the lives of many African American Women. Diabetes is more common amongst the black women of America. 1 out of 4 will develop type 2 diabetes. African Americans are 72% more likely to have diabetes than a Caucasian. What’s so crazy about this crisis is this; It’s taboo to talk about it. We are walking around advertising insulin and that pill, but we have very little knowledge of the disease that’s wiping us out. Even when we live to see 70, we lived our 50’s and 60’s in such distress, that we are ready to die at 75. Who wants to live when they can’t eat the cake at the party? Who wants to live when they can’t drink the wine at the bar? Who wants to live when they don’t have normal energy levels to do normal things? Who wants to live when the doctor becomes your best friend? Who wants to live in a world where no one understands who you are? Surely, if they knew, there would be a cure for you. However, this crisis has only gotten worse. New gadgets to pump the insulin in your blood stream to tracking devices on the skin that beep whenever your blood sugar levels jump or dip, are the only things happening.
