[QUOTE="HSSS, post: 2250192, member: 480869"] I never intended for my question at #2 to support blame culture. I have been accused of eating my way into diabetes by scoffing sugar, being lazy and fat etc etc. It is not nice. Nor do I believe it to be true in the way it is meant by the accusers. I did follow the rules too. But I do believe inappropriate diet for those that have the propensity/genetics for type 2 diabetes in the first place is a factor though and denying that doesn’t help any more than blaming solely that. Why else would so many of us cut carbs to reverse the condition otherwise. We need people to understand the link we food and diabetes. It what a huge part of this forum is about. We can’t simultaneously do that and also deny it. It does however need to be framed appropriately Who knows if they can be a carboholic safely or not til its too late? Who knows what damage is being done to many of those who eat that way despite not receiving a formal diagnosis of diabetes or metabolic syndrome. Sure many will be ok. Many won’t The comment made by the nurse was incomplete to be sure and poorly worded. It was easy to take it as blame or stereotyping but it wasn’t completely wrong either. Too much sugar can, not will, speed along a type 2 diagnosis. [/QUOTE]
