[QUOTE="spinningwoman, post: 109988, member: 19482"] Sugarless Sue, I sort of understand what you mean, but it can't be true to say that a person is 'not a diabetic until they are diagnosed'. Lots of people are not diagnosed until very late on when they are already suffering from complications. Their diabetes doesn't suddenly appear in the doctor's office! At the moment, I don't really see how I would benefit from knowing definitely one way or the other. Actually, the first post I made here back in May was to ask if there was any particular point in getting a formal diagnosis one way or the other. Nobody came up with any very good reason why it would be helpful. If I am pre-diabetic, or even diabetic, my diet is keeping it under control, as I know from my testing. If I'm not, this is the way I prefer to eat anyway and have been doing so for some years, so no harm done. In any case, I need to be on the forum to know how best to help my husband, who has been diagnosed - and not given any help at all as a result, only discouragement from following the only diet that has ever helped him lose weight. I hope that's OK - I have read quite a few other posts from partners. There is no way he would read up on this himself at the moment. I only explained my own position because I had the feeling I had confused Cugila in the other thread, and I only brought it up then because I didn't want to mislead anyone in our discussion about de-carbing potatoes. I'm not trying to pretend to be anything that I'm not. [/QUOTE]
