[QUOTE="Unbeliever, post: 320595, member: 30851"] Yes - the media encouraged nby the NHS and the government! They link obesity with diabetes and cancer. It is not PC to go on oo much about cancer so diabetics get all the flak. I can remeber a ime when T2 was not linked to weight but to age . That was because i was normally only diagnosed in the elderly . This was incorrect of course but probably a genuine mistake . The weightt issue is on a diffferent level. Of course there is a LINK but is it cause or effect. They know this. The genetic link has been est ablished for many years and is not disputed . It is something Drs always ask about. I think we are treated disgracefully. I wonder what he reaction would be if they started using cancer victims in his way. It is one thing to warn people about he consequences of poor lifestyle choces - quite another to label - and libel- all sufferers of a paricular disease as having caused it themselves. If they are concerned about obesity and diabetes and cancer etc why not advise them to seek help if they seem o gain weight more easily than others just as they do for those who lose weigh rapidly. Ought they to be demonised as well? What you've lost a stone without dieting? You should see the Dr . Things like that can bring on cancer or diabetes you know . Really, you should look after yourself better. Let it be a warning o you ,,, ec. I don't think so! I think cathrine cherubs idea of a poster with the two contrasting ypes on it warning that diabetes could srinke anyone was he best I have hears for a public campaign of awareness about the condition. But that's not what the media campaigns are all about its it? No, diabetes is a lifesyle disease as the OP claimed. Not. [/QUOTE]
