Typical options for end-of-life care include prolonging life at all cost, including cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and mechanical ventilation; limited care, including admission into the hospital and the use of antibiotics, but not resuscitation; and comfort care, including treatment only to relieve symptoms, but not prolong life...
Once known as juvenile diabetes, Type 1 diabetes typically begins in childhood - Sotomayor was diagnosed at age 8 - eventually causing the body to slow production of insulin, the hormone necessary to break down sugars found in food. (In Type 2, or adult-onset, diabetes the pancreas continues to make insulin, but the body fails to respond properly to the hormone's signals.) While it is not yet clear what causes Type 1 diabetes, some experts believe that a patient's own immune system starts to attack insulin-producing cells in the pancreas, ultimately leading to a drop-off in hormone...

"People who lost their job and were re-employed within a year and half also reported increased onset of new health problems," she says.
