[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 1710545, member: 365308"] [ATTACH=full]25446[/ATTACH] This is Diabetes UK putting out the message that diabetes is serious and on the rise but again some popular myths were reinforced by Jeremy saying non too gently that it was the doughnut munchers' fault despite valiant efforts by the actual type 2s who had cured themselves and the DuK spokesperson! So it was a blame game because folk like to feel morally superior to other folk and if you get fat then get sick they are happy to believe that it is because you have indulged in sloth and gluttony (lack of walking and doughnuts etc.) not that we all been given terrible public health advice for decades and not all type 2s are obese at diagnosis. Would have been more useful to move onto How Did you 'reverse' your disease? Incidentally, any thoughts on a better slogan than 'Walking Definciency Disease' or ! Stop Eating Doughnuts' ? Dr Robert Lustig calls diabetes 'processed food disease' and this seems more accurate to me! If not catchy. [/QUOTE]
