[QUOTE="Nada, post: 333529, member: 49053"] Grace & Viv you are my heroes for putting the moron straight - have to admit as a newly diagnosed diab I felt quite depressed over all the media attacks on lifestyles - it is incredibly judgemental - I think education is a huge part of this and if proper nutrition was taught at schools everyone would have the option to make better choices. I just finished my local NHS course which wasnt too bad and I was flabbergasted how few diabetics get offered or sent on them. Some people on the course had been given little guidance for years and were now questioning what their GPs have been playing at. I recommended this forum to those that really want to challenge their condition and over the weeks there was a real change in their attitude and courage. I am third generation diabetic and beyond that we don't know if other family members had the condition so although I missed / ignored the warning signs I now know I was predisposed to it. Knowledge is power and I hope to be the first person in my family to buck the trend of amputations and blindness. Thank you :) [/QUOTE]
