Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Diabetes / May 2008I think diabetes is just popular
I am offered things, almost daily, that I shouldn't eat. If I say I'm diabetic, its, "Oh yeah, I am too" ( or my brother, mom, sister, uncle, etc.). Still none of them seem to be doing anything about it. I think diabetes is just popular. John >I am offered things, almost daily, that I shouldn't eat.

I think >diabetes is just popular. > > John Yes, I've had diabetics who hear I am a diabetic, and how I'm managing my diabetes, think I'm being weird. What annoys me more, is when those offering me such foods are family. My daughter-who-did-a-semester-of-medicine-and-thinks-she-knows-everything says I'm overdoing it.....

Maybe sometimes we do overdo it a hair...haha... but that's a hell of a lot better than doing nothing. Mostly I hear, "Oh, I've stopped eating so much sugar." and that's it.

Last Christmas my b/f's sister said to me that she knew diabetics who ate brown rice all the time, as if I needed to have some. All the food was starchy, every bit of it - columbian style tamales, white rice, and bread. real healthy! I bring my own food in a lunch pail now, and I was prepared. >I am offered things, almost daily, that I shouldn't eat.

There could be several reasons. Maybe they are less common or maybe they are less visible.

It is maiming and killing many. It remains smarter to go for the cure by choosing to eat less, down to the right amount: http://HeartMDPhD.com/BeSmart Here again is a simple parable to promote greater understanding: http://HeartMDPhD.com/Parable Life in industrialized countries is essentially life in feed lots, <>< http://HeartMDPhD.com/HolySpirit/Counsels "Andrew B.
