[QUOTE="DavidGrahamJones, post: 1132621, member: 245335"] I suppose the title has to be the starting point. Thinking aloud here, how about "So you think you know about Diabetes" or "The Truth about Diabetes"., "Diabetic Delusions" (thanks to Gary Taubes), must be some cleverer ideas out there. It would be an idea to state exactly what sort of material was required, I think having clear objectives and sticking to that will be important. Maybe start another thread to continue discussion or stay on this one. There's lots of thoughts rattling around in my head. Things like differentiating opinion from fact, trying to make it light hearted, even funny (could be another hook). It could be that all the stories have already been told on this forum and although some contain, you'll have to forgive me for this, a fair amount of justifiable whinging, I don't think non diabetics will be "entertained" by reading whinges, no matter how justified. Sorry for the rambling, but I'm thinking the start point is saying what is the message that we want to get across? I'm thinking it's the misconceptions of non diabetics (and some diabetics) about diabetes. I'm also thinking that with so much for a newly diagnosed diabetic to grasp, is there a way of conveying some of that, baring in mind it has to be totally accurate and verified by qualified people. Lots to think about. [/QUOTE]
