[QUOTE="Bellx15, post: 319712, member: 26391"] And the very best to you - I hope things continue in this vein. :) Maybe I do have diabetes - so I'll certainly remain aware of the need for a bit of care. On the other hand, I will take a lot of convincing that my current state is harmful to me. It reminds me so much of the other yardsticks we are trained to fear - blood pressure, cholesterol, body weight, and on and on. They are all immensely profitable business ploys, and I am not taken in by any of them. Of course blood pressure is harmful the higher it gets, so of course it needs to be monitored and possibly controlled. Same with all these factors. I am just not going to get 'bent out of shape' over any of them. Whenever misrepresentation stands to make money, there will be misrepresentation. Sorry - yes, I am cynical, but as a former lecturer in health care ethics I am not simply talking out of the wrong orifice. :mrgreen: [/QUOTE]
