[QUOTE="richf, post: 1430585, member: 386715"] I think my own initial diagnosis of being "glucose impaired" and further information received is similar to many on the forum, ie nothing at all or come back again in 3 months and we will try again then - so off you go. So whats in a name? I don't think I am thick, probably better at maths and the sciences than English and being told "oh by the way you are glucose impaired" didn't seem important and had no more impact than saying - by the way you have green eyes or a big nose. I reckon if I had been told something like - this can get serious you have type 0 diabetes you can do something about it so act know, I would have been shocked into doing something about it there and then instead of just plodding along. Ignorance is bliss - so they say. So what's in a name, an awful lot. I am sure that there are many of you out there that feel the same. There maybe some that understood the term glucose impaired, but I think called by something like type 0 would probably have an initial bigger impact and results. [/QUOTE]
