Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Diabetes / August 2006Difference in needs.
The need and the technical level of people here covers a wide range. I find it hard to select the approach to many posts. and threads. It used to be that most ore technical issues went to MHD and the others oriented toward support were proper for ASD. The scene s so mixed today we just give up and splash it out. Anyone with some good ideas for a better balance?. I only respond to one site, I think this is enough for my bull. It is so easy to setup where your responses go. We can be thankful that so many are well versed in the whole spectrum. But still we are so limited. Do you have all of the answers? Then show us the cure. We are a lot more knowledgable than we were years ago. Sometimes this does add to some confusion. s Guy: Its complicated because we are a mixed group of 1) not yet diabetic 2) T2s 3) T1s 4) other types of this heterogeneous disease. Some suffer from other comorbidities, some are old some are young. Some are more preoccupied with food some are thin and some are obese. Some are more interested in figuring out their disease, others need support. Some are feeling well others are not so well. Some welcome drug therapy some resist it.

Think I'll check out MHD, too.

What does seem to be the case is that the technical discussions here are more closely focussed on things which make a practical difference to a diabetic trying to steer a safe course between Scylla and Charybdis.

I soon realized that there was so much fighting there, that I had to get out of there,. I found this group and have stayed ever since.
