Maybe it is easier for those of us with diabetes to get sad at all the processed food out there? Because those of us with hyperglycemia/blood glucose dysregulation have already fallen foul of what bad food can do to us.The rates of intermediate hyperglycemia (I like this more exact term better than 'prediabetes') are actually frighteningly high in many countries in the 30%s if my memory is serving me correctly? When I apply this to my own environment with friends and family this seems absolutely accurate. (I'm a bit different because I have come down to intermediate level from dx rather than starting off from that prediabetes ppoint at dx.) With all the processed food, and sugar just being added to everything - it is not surprising! Scary as heck. And - yes - sad, for sure.(At that bbq I referred to earlier - sugar had clearly been added to the steak marinade. This is something I do not understand one tiny bit! Meat sooooo doesn't need sugar to enhance its wonderful flavour imho. I kept my mouth shut, as I didn't want to offend my lovely hosts, and they know sugar is a toxin to me so they would have felt bad. But, it is very sad that they don't realise that sugar is a toxin to everyone - some of us just fall foul of that additive more than others.) (this is my understanding anyway.)</blockquote>
