[QUOTE="wallycorker, post: 110719, member: 17475"] Spinningwoman - I agree with you entirely about this matter there really must be an extremely large number (quite possibly millions) of undiagnosed Type 2 diabetics out there who - almost inadvertently - because of accident of their diet - e.g. either because they eat a high fat and low carb diet or quite simply eat very little in the way of food i.e. a low calorie diet - are unlikely to be easily diagnosed as diabetic. That is, until either they change their diet in some way e.g. to higher carb or higher calorie - or, more worryingly, their diabetic condition deteriorates to such an extent that they reach a stage where they are doing - or even worse have done - untold damage to their bodies. The fact that these people have not been diagnosed does not mean that they are non-diabetic. In my opinion, if the medical authorities really wanted to find these undiagnosed diabetics they could do so without too much difficulty. Do they want to find them early and add to the current largely unmanageable mountain of Type 2 diabetics? Personally, I'm not convinced that they do - perhaps, it's more convenient for the health authorities to leave such people out there as undiagnosed Type 2 diabetics! [/QUOTE]
