"Dr. Phillip Gorden, a director of the diabetes research branch of the NIH, defended the decision, saying the Type 1 study was more
manageable and that new technology had just become available for testing."
Really? Since when has Type I been more manageable? Would Dr. Gorden like to test my son at 12 a.m. and 3 a.m. every single morning? What about trying to adjust insulin for growth spurts, illness, anxiety, stress, hormones, etc. Would Dr. Gorden like to live my son's life even for one week? There hasn't been any flood of studies into curing Type I either so where does he come up with this stuff?
