Childish people who start childish arguments. KNOW-ALLS who claim they can help people to control their Diabetes without knowing their medical back ground.

BLINKERED people who think their way is the ONLY way.

Eating LOADS of SAT FATS. I HATE SAT FATS.

Did I mention I dislike KNOW-ALLS.

People desperate for attention and recognition.

People who get angry when they don't receive anything in return for helping others.

Same here, MR on the label and SR on the box. It's just the way the chemists computers have been programmed I guess and does not mean that you've been given the wrong tablets.

Argumenative barstifferous (new word *lol*) types who think that they know everything *wink*
MR = modified release
SR = sustained or slow release

Both terms describe tablets that are treated/manufactured in such a way that they dissolve in your gut at a predetermined rate over a period of time, rather than dissolving within say 1/2 hr to give you a 'shock' dose all in one go.
