[QUOTE="TorqPenderloin, post: 1023309, member: 211504"] It wasn't my intention to offend, but just as you worded it, they're both situations where you cannot or chose "not to eat" something. I would also say my allergic reaction to peanuts is connected as well. They pose similar challenges and most "Conventional" dietary approaches do not consider common lifestyle choices and/or allergies. In that sense, they are connected. Similarly, the topics of gestational diabetes and someone with type 2 wanting to have a safe pregnancy are completely different. However, combining the two into one subsection would help promote a discussion between individuals who have similar knowledge and experiences (compared to someone like me who knows nothing about the subject). On the contrary, someone who developed gestational diabetes many accidentally post in the pregnancy subsection. That could possibly hinder people from seeing the thread who might be able to help. Unfortunately, this is the exact problem we face in making changes to the forum. The tendency is to assume that when a topic is added, removed, or condensed with another, the change was made to prioritize or compare topics. That is not true and in fact, quite the contrary. My suggestions were shared to maximize the efficiency of viewing traffic to ensure people see the topics that are relevant to them. The Type 3c forum is a perfect example. By creating this subsection, it seems to have actually limited the amount of discussion on type 3c. Again, it's a completely separate type of diabetes, but many similar challenges are shared between those with type 1 and those with type 3c. It's certainly a topic that deserves more discussion. Unfortunately, creating a devoted subsection seems to have hindered that. [/QUOTE]
