[QUOTE="BeckiDover, post: 2073051, member: 398315"] The example of the man climbing Everest is a great example of and for type 1's - diabetes doesn't and shouldn't stop us from doing anything. But it doesn't really cover the subject of type 1 does it? As a type 1 it would be useful to me to see more news about dealing with exercise (as a type 1), carb counting, new technology etc etc. I'm not implying anything about type 2's here, i know first hand that type 2 isn't caused by 'being fat and lazy' (as you put it). But for example, this sentence used in the article [I]"It's wonderful when we get to report on people who've lost weight, reduced HbA1c levels and even put type 2 diabetes into remission, but achievements aren't just limited to clinical milestones. Milestones come in all forms, such as regaining mobility and experiencing improved mood following tough times."[/I] As a diabetic, i know this is great but what message does that put out to non-diabetics? [B][U](The people that we want to spread awareness to this week)[/U][/B] That we're all immobile and depressed and that's [B]what caused[/B] us to have this condition? We put this stuff out there and then expect people to not have this bad view on it? [/QUOTE]
