But that's the point isn't it @Scardoc - GP's are generalists and human beings so mistakes will be made, but they need to manage how those mistakes are dealt with; my point about the aeronautical industry was not so much the mechanics of building a plane or flying but the process of dealing with...

That's right; and that is what the law of negligence has been trying to do for a long time; it says in England and Wales that a person has acted negligently if they have departed from the conduct expected of a reasonably prudent person acting under similar circumstances. I heard a good...

Doctors have a duty of care to their patients and if they fail in that duty they need to be held accountable. We do not expect them to be perfect but we do and should expect them to be competent. If you place your trust in someone in a professional context and they abuse that trust by failing...

Or unless, you, you know, use your common sense and the ordinary meaning of words to understand that it can only be referring to cases where damage has been suffered...

Hi Donnad, I'm glad you posted again; these are the first steps. I think you are talking about my post; but that's not what I was saying. I said if you don't want help then it's hard to be bothered to try to offer that help. You had asked for replies and had got some incredibly supportive...

Life is all about choices and consequences. This person was just offered a route out of their problems, a route that many of us have taken to successfully deal with this condition. If their response to that is 'you are being mean to me' then that's a choice too; the wrong choice but I think...

This was found by Fergie I believe; good set of studies here http://authoritynutrition.com/23-studies-on-low-carb-and-low-fat-diets/ Best Dillinger

I don't think so. Do you think The Discourses are an actual attempt at a blueprint for society compared to The Prince which rather than being a political self help manual was actually a satire? By the way you must listen to Morrissey and The Smiths - if you have not they will open your eyes...

No hijacking as far as I'm concerned; it's all grist to the mill. Best Dillinger

Ah, my dear AlexMBrennan always a pleasure. Thank you for your assumptions on my views of 'evidence based medicine'. Are you seriously claiming that glycogen causes greater blood sugar disruption than eating any type of food? A Black Forest gateaux for instance? Really? Let's see your double...

How about being a diabetics advocate? I think everyone on here would agree that test strips are essential. Yet time and again we hear of people being refused them or dissuaded from using them. Uninterested diabetics won't do anything about the information they provide, but by definition almost...

Hi, As a Type 1 I don't have issues in getting test strips for which I'm very grateful. I know a number of Type 2 diabetics are told that they shouldn't test. As far as I can see that must be a combination of short term costs and the generally very poor results that diabetics get following...

I seem to have hurt my pectoral muscle on the left hand side doing these exercises; so watch yourself (warming up is probably a sensible approach...) Anyhow, I thought initially (of course) that it was a heart attack and quickly thereafter thought i) Oh no; I'll miss my kids growing up ii) what...

What is it about mysugr that you like? Do you also have the IBGStar blood testing meter? I used it a while ago and thought (the meter) was pants. Thanks Dillinger

@madusmacus ; are you on statins?

Ah, I've just been doing some work with people in Istanbul. Anyway, the thing with school and exams is that as long as you keep going and don't give up everything will work out. Kind of the same with diabetes too... Best Dillinger

@Keltak - are you in the US?

Sorry to hear that Mo - have a break and see whether you want to come back once your head has cleared a bit. I always thought you were very helpful and fair minded; which is not an easy path to steer around here. Best Dillinger

No.
