The story in the news about the 12-year-old girl in Wisconsin whose parents prayed over her rather than have her treated for diabetes strikes a personal cord with me, since I was also diagnosed with diabetes as a child. Fortunately for me, my parents were not lunatics. Like the parents in Wisconsin, they were pious, church-going people. However, they had the good sense to take me to a doctor when I got sick and then learned to administer shots of insulin so I could live and grow up.
( Some stories get under my skin, kind of like a 29 gage needle on an insulin syringe )
