[QUOTE="Antje77, post: 2250149, member: 372207"] I think the problem is that every time someone says 'Oh my, all this food is going to give me diabetes' it's reinforced diabetics made wrong choices and should've known better. It's just not true. For one, many people get T2 when having been roughly following official advice for years. Secondly, most people eating rubbish don't ever get diabetes (but often still blame diabetics for getting diabetes). Third, a one-off sugar feast has never ever given someone diabetes. Do you know how many children with diabetes get comments about all the sugar they must have eaten, thanks to the 'common knowledge' that eating sweets gives you diabetes? [/QUOTE]
