[QUOTE="increasingly cynical, post: 82328, member: 13842"] Just to 'cheer you up' no-one has actually identified whether it is the 'disease' or the 'treatment' which is responsible for these statistics, let alone controlled for other co-occurring factors... rubbish in, rubbish out... What is truly distressing is that diabetes has probably one of the largest number of research articles associated with it (over 400,000 at last count) and yet very very few (in the 100s at best) are either 1) empirical or 2) targeted at addressing the causes rather than the symptoms (note that diabetes is actually a symptom itself, not a disease as such so in many ways it is largely pointless to 'treat' it ... its a bit like 'treating' a searing pain in the groin, but without bothering to identify the cause... doesn't ever bode well for patient outcomes... ). Pitiful isn't it?! :? [/QUOTE]
