[QUOTE="Sid Bonkers, post: 714877, member: 19121"] Well IMHO Scardoc you are missing one very important point and that is that this is a support forum for diabetics, yes there are all sorts of forums on the www, forums for people who like a particular football team or make/model of car or a pastime such as cycling or fishing but a [B]support[/B] forum by definition is for the mutual support of diabetics what it is not here for is to apportion blame to a section of the community ie some of you ate yourselves to diabetes, that type of statement has no place on a support forum as all it does is makes people feel bad about themselves. Support forums are there for the benefit of other like minded individuals to try to help not to point fingers. And of course despite all that the reasons why people develop T2 diabetes are wide and varied and not yet fully understood and whilst obesity may be a marker it is not a cause as only 20% of obese people will develop diabetes, so statements like that do no good what-so-ever and can only help make people feel bad about themselves the complete opposite of what this support forum is here to do.
