I was not even able to watch the whole episode I was sooo mad!! I have a 4 year old T1 daughter who was diagnosed on Feb 13th 09 <br /><br />Thanks for sharing your amazing letter. I suffer from dyslexia and sometimes it is hard for me to find the right words and proper spelling and things just have trouble making there way onto paper or in this case an email. But I defiantly found a way to get my letter to him. I realized later that I made a little mistake in some of my phrasing but I'm sure he got the idea. I still however have not gotten a response. I'm still waiting!!<br /><br />Here is the link for the letter if you are interested in reading it.<br />http://wecaralot.blogspot.com/2009/12/my-letter-to-dr-oz.htmlNicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07233907890324278905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9175362385039466640.post-17167467262080731922010-02-01T18:25:35.205-05:002010-02-01T18:25:35.205-05:00Applause...applause...applause

Then they took a few people from the screening and told them how they can cut their weight and eat healthier. I don't recall them talking about T1. I hope they do in the ep with Oprah. But if it's about "America's silent killer" - I'm thinking it's going to be T2 primarily. ::sigh:: Hoping for the best though.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05178362930945590399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9175362385039466640.post-76866793537125402072010-02-01T13:32:01.730-05:002010-02-01T13:32:01.730-05:00Jan, Jan, Jan!!!
