[QUOTE="Bluenosesol, post: 82521, member: 20149"] You need to look into the stats...... They reckon that 50% of diabetics die of vascular problems, so who said that as diabetics we are no longer prone to vascular degeneration by "natural causes". Of the mainstream population, 30% die of vascular degeneration. So I would suggest that a well controlled diabetic with an above average level of activity and self awareness would be less likely to be part of the 30% let alone the diabetic 50%. I cant believe the stats that we are 5 times more likely to have heart attacks. If that is the case, why are the vast majority of controlled diabetics long time diagnosed. Surely our average post diagnosis shelf life would be a handful of years if we all faced the risks that are being suggested. Diabetics are no different to any other health affected groups including the geneal populus. Remember 12000 people die every week in the UK. If the population is 55 million and there are 2.5 million diabetics, then you would expect 550 diabetics to die every week from the same causes as anyone else!!. Lies, damned lies and statistics.... :!: [/QUOTE]
