[QUOTE="Sugar Plum, post: 342746, member: 56120"] Your input is highly appreciated. My crucial point is that all these facts and figures involve averages. No individual is average, average is the hypothetical mean of a selected sample. To discipline your mind on average values is simply a guideline and our medical friends know it. Average this and average that means very little in practice when studying an individual. Unfortunately Mother Nature does not recognize averages, it is only we humans that have to use them in order to apply practical criteria to the masses and hence try to establish a profile for the individual. It is the practice of most technical and scientific work. We live on averages. I would just add a point that is of paramount importance to Diabetics. Obesity is now a serious threat to civilization and most Governments recognize it by introducing countless measures to guide people on diet, exercise and other aspects of health control. With Western populations reaching around 60% obesity including children, the matter is the most serious threat to global health resources we have today. Like smoking, compulsive and repetitive eating of unhealthy convenient foods is a self inflicted wound. Your Diabetic readings, Cholesterol, blood pressure, kidney, liver and heart rates etc. etc. go completely haywire. It threatens to bankrupt every countries health care funding in the very near future. Not just my words, but the factual forecast of the World Health Authority. The trouble is that a high proportion of obese people are also Diabetic. This combination is a guarantee of a short, troubled and most likely painful life. Every Diabetic and obese person MUST reverse their natural and addictive tendencies of placing compulsive eating before Diabetic control, otherwise it will simply be a steady road to an early death, costing the health care organizations countless billions or trillions of dollars in wasteful treatments that could and should be allocated to other patients with more demanding and treatable medical needs.
