I was involved in lasers very early.  Worked on a project to
evaluate propagation in the atmosphere.  

They had many immediate applications and made much
new work possible.

The problem was developing the people capable of developing
applications.

The use in medicine is still developing but such things as their
application to burn retina lesions has saved my sight.

My last research effort was to develop a device for Brooks
used in military laser research.   That was in 1976.

I recall as a the young typewriter technician in 1976 walking in to do a
repair at a Telecom (now Telstra) research lab. It was a large old building,
and in the large room there was a jig set up full of devices, shining gizmos
and plasticky cable. The cable was fibre optic; the shining red light was
laser. These were the days where these cute looking fibre optic lamps
proliferated in shops. The Telecom technician working on the lase jog
explained to me that they were testing it as a means of communication via
the fibre optic cable. "This will revolutionise communication" he said "if
only we can solve the short range and the connection joint problem....."

Lasers have come a long way since then. Come to think of it, around that
time I was probably developing my diabetes, which would not be diagnosed for
another 15 years.....

There was concern if fiber optics would ever be useful. The
first fiber optics had a coherence problem.

I falsely compare medical research and the other fields
and get disgusted.  The human body is a complex system.

I was comparing my life before diabetes.  I was somebody
then.   Now,just an old bum.

Lisa I have dealt with diabetes over 30 years.  It does
wears a person down. When we can do things that are
positive it helps.  Early in these groups we were
learning every day   and I came here paticipating  and
hoping I would find out something new.  I did most of the time.

Now too often, it is like the collection of  Mona's old hens.
or just plain nuts.  I do not need their imagined problems.  

Dr Chung and others should keep their religion private.
If they were so sure of it they would not have tout it.

I prefer to be positive but it does not work.  We have to keep
people scared so they will do the things they need to do to avoid
problems.  Should not be that way.

Finally, I am glad to see the gross US medical system
an open issue to discuss.

Privately I am very busy and positive.  The
internet , while useful  brings out the "worst"
in some people.  Tv sets a standard that is not
acceptable to me.   Trash for money.

Hi Lisa. Yes! You can work it out. You're young, active and eat healthy,
but not necessarily diabetes healthy. That 120 to 145 before breakfast
suggests to me that, during the night, your liver decides you need some
glucose, so gives you a liver dump. A carb snack at bedtime might help.
Also, with your activity level, snacking on some carbs during the day might
help with those hypos. Nothing more embarrasing than passing out in ballet
class. ;-)

Take care.

Another old bum,

I think you underestimate yourself, Guy. To me, and I reckon to a few others
here, you're more than just "an old bum".
