Steve,
I'm very familiar with diabetes, in addition to inflammatory breast cancer; my wife has type 2 gestational diabetes and has a terrible time with her feet. The docs say that the diabetes came from her having large babies. Let's see, I'm 6'5" my wife is 6'2" you'd think that for her to have large babies would be normal, natural, and expected, it's not as if she were some tiny woman cranking out 10 lb baby's. Things like that gotta make me wonder about Gods plan, if indeed there is one.
Sorry to hear about your Dads health troubles, just be happy that you have a Dad who hunts with you. My Dad, after serving in the 101st Airborne during WWII, was discharged a mental wreck. He never ever took me hunting; it got in the way of his TV (fall football) and beer. He did buy me a shotgun one Christmas, gave me safety instruction "Now don't shoot anyone,or yourself!", and off I went after the wily squirrel and pheasant.

PS Hooray for your Dad, I'm a cancer survivor too and it's one miserable disease.
