Diabetes benefit now ‘a little personal’ for Menino

Mayor Thomas M. Menino has attended the CityFeast charity dinner every year since its founding in 2005. But Sunday’s meal had special meaning.

The annual benefit in the North End raises money to fight diabetes. Menino was diagnosed with the disease this past fall.

why is it personal to menino now?  he runs a major city but did not know about diabetes until he got it ?  wow - then his intellect as a mayor is suspect.
