[QUOTE="CherryAA, post: 1626205, member: 327005"] When I worked in insurance - we had people called "underwriters" there job was to write insurance risks- sounds easy enough - however part of their job was to turn down risks- i.e. to " not underwrite" - they found that very hard to do, it was the antithesis of their job. Unfortunately when it comes to the treatment of diabetes through diet alone, every one of us is telling a doctor or nurse to " not doctor or not nurse" after all if you don't need their pills and potions - what are they actually for?? I don't think these reactions are deliberate, simply part of the normal human condition which is to " do " something - even if that very thing is rubbish and to hang on for all you are worth to what you have always done. That is why it takes so long to turn opinion round and why the actual change in diabetes practice will come from a few doctors and experts leading the way and pressure from the grass roots in the other direction. If anyone had reacted to my results in that fashion I would probably have told them exactly where to shove their advice coupled with a lecture on " you should be ashamed of yourself" Fortunately you know your results are excellent and so do we ! Congratulations :) [/QUOTE]
