I came to this forum for advice.... if I had wanted arguments, I could have gone to Youtube. My comments to Enclave were made because I found his tone offensive.
Firstly in appearing to say I was in denial, when clearly my presence on this forum contradicts that premise. He had clearly not read my original post carefully enough and passed judgement regardless. Had he read my post properly, he would have seen that I was seeking advice regarding T2, not the management of my Cholesterol which I am quite happy with. Secondly, his comments implying I do not know what I am doing in that regard, I found offensive. Just for the record, a younger sibling who did not manage her Cholesterol levels had a massive stroke having had a Cholesterol level of 15.9, so I don't think my overall level of 3.3 is anything that I need to be unduly concerned about do you?
I note Nosher8355 is courteous enough to say " the jury is still out on Cholesterol, but in my experience and opinion" I am not a fool, I am not in denial of anything, I currently have a Cholesterol level that most of you would die for (excuse the pun) so yes I do object to someone implying I am a fool and that the management of my Cholesterol level is wrong,
Opinions are just that; opinions and what works for one may not work for the other. However do not insult people by implying they are somehow being stupid, do not disparage their choices because they may differ from your own and do not purport to offer advice when in fact what you are doing is proffering your own view point as being somehow superior.
If people are willing to give me the benefit of their experience, tell me their own viewpoint, point me to evidence, then I will listen and take what they say as exactly what it is; their viewpoint, but don't begin by insulting me. If this forum is a place where individuals believe that their own position is the only one and that it is OK to denigrate other's views, then I shall bid you all good day, however if as I say; people couch their comments/advice with "it is only my opinion but....or in my experience" I will gladly take heed
