[QUOTE="Unbeliever, post: 471348, member: 30851"] Information and courses for all tyoes of diabetics seem always to be based on very low expectations of improvement and geared t owards those with he worst control. Its as if a teacher only actively taught the dullest children int he class and let the others fend for themselves. I can understand that the organisers are reluctant to frighten people wih unrealistic expecationsb ut it should be possible to encourage those with better control to aim higher and make them aware of strategies to achieve their personal goa;s. So much seems o be geared to making people feel confortable with diabetes that the risk of complicaions as a result of long term high numbers seems o be forgotten. As a T2 I was once give a list of 'healthy foods " which appalled me. It couldn have been healthy and shouldnt have been normal for anyone le alone diabetics. Further iinvesigation showed that thel is had been written especially with those wih the worst control as a sort of interim measure. Unfortunately it had foiund its way into mainstream information over a wide area.It was ,in fact ,recommending a worse diet to most people. These things happen. It seems to me that the definiion of that word "normal" is all imporant yet there is little agreement on it. [/QUOTE]
