[QUOTE="lucylocket61, post: 263865, member: 41885"] I think that people and confusing acknowledgement with acceptance. Phoenix does not appear to me, as I read it, to [b]accept[/b] the way life is for those disadvantaged in some way, and not able to take as much control of their treatment as they would or should do, as OK .He/she is acknowledging that that is the way it is. But he/she (sorry, dont know which you are :oops: ) does not either advocate or encourage that situation. He/she is merely acknowledging the truth of the situation. As one of those who cannot afford to test (yet) as much as I should, or eat all the right things, I acknowledge my situation and less than complete self management of Diabetes, but I also accept that it could be better and may be in the future. So I dont understand the conflict here, unless people are thinking there is acceptance rather than acknowledgement by some posters :crazy: [/QUOTE]
