[QUOTE="christi99, post: 903794, member: 179601"] Wow- I am really impressed by your doctor's approach. Well said. I think the problem comes in because for some people who are overweight (not more than many, many people walking around without diabetes!) a cornerstone of treatment is to lose weight and exercise because is it often has significant benefit for those with diabetes. It isn't about blame, but using the tools in one's tool box to manage a disease. Like telling people with high blood pressure to reduce salt intake- they don't use more than other people, but have a sensitivity internally and they need to reduce what they use due to its effects on hypertension. Not blame but relationship to treatment. Unfortunately this part about "it's not your fault" gets left out!! [/QUOTE]
