[QUOTE="killerkaz, post: 745480, member: 156475"] I agree that anything taken to excess can become obsessive. However, people like me who are newly diagnosed and find the world of diabetes a little alarming and confusing at times find these forums invaluable, as is the information given on websites like this one. It is then up to that person to use that information and advise to manage their own condition as we are all individuals and react differently to food, medication etc. I also think you have to have a slightly obsessive nature to allow yourself to become obsessed with diabetes morning noon and night. You are right in saying about the younger ones who can be more easily influenced into thinking it is normal to be obsessional about their condition and if I had a child or young teen I would strictly monitor their behaviour (without them realising) and steer them in the right direction (hopefully) [/QUOTE]
