I didn't actually say that, see stuff taken out of context. Jeez!!!!Speak for yourself, but don't tar us all with the same brush!You may have stuffed your face with rubbish, but I certainly didn't. I only ended up late in life with T2 when I was put in a position where I was expected to eat more "healthy" carbs than my ancient pancreas could eventually tolerate.
A word of warning not to watch "The Money Heist" on Netflix then, the hostages standard food items to eat were sandwiches and cold pizza.
Either diabetes or diabetic was mentioned when these were being handed out, the sub titles were a bit quick in that bit and I missed who said it a hostage or a bank robber.
There were some comments from both sides which I found amusing...

..... so I do not care if someone makes assumptions in their ignorance.
I assume you are referring to certain diabetics. Or are you suggesting that a 6 month old baby has unknowingly given themselves type 1 diabetes.I think diabetics did unknowingly give themselves diabetes

Really? Although not explicitly stated is it not obvious - within this forum posted by a known type 2 member such as @Mbaker - that this is not what was meant and type 2 was being discussed. And yes I realise this lack of clarity as to which type is the point I suspect you are making.I assume you are referring to certain diabetics. Or are you suggesting that a 6 month old baby has unknowingly given themselves type 1 diabetes.
T2 isn't a choice either.because type 1 is not a choice.
Sorry but this has gone right over my head and I don’t know what you’re saying. My statement (which one) or the nurses? Or something else?@HSSS . As the post is in the “ Diabetes soapbox- have your say” sub forum I see that has open to all for all to see.
I appreciate the statement is maybe just a slip but nonetheless.......
Junk food exacerbates type 2 diabetes, and can trigger it in people with dodgy pancreases. It doesn't, of itself, cause type 2 diabetes.I dispair at the amount of healthcare professionals that live on a diet of junk food, and are over weight. The very same people who hand out advice about healthy eating. In my experience in working in a setting where at least twice a week the was a massive carbo feast, because someone was leaving, getting married or had a birthday, not once did I see a tray of left over meat, olives, or even salad, so the sugar overload is not restricted to special occasions.
I sorry if the nurses comment linking excess sugary food consumption to diabetes affends you, but I am sort of pleased, its not the full story but at least its a start, now we have to get them to connect bread and baked beans.
If you smoke you are more likely to get lung cancer and heart disease, not everyone who has lung cancer or heart disease smoked. As a society we have decided its better that people do not smoke, as a society I think the best thing on the evidence I have seen is we do not over consume carbs in any form.

I kind of think of it as we all have a certain number of carb miles (variable and personal) our pancreas and metabolism can deal with. And after we reach our annual or lifetime limit we get engine failures to some degree or another - diagnosed or not.Junk food exacerbates type 2 diabetes, and can trigger it in people with dodgy pancreases.

I respectfully disagree. Refined carbohydrates mixed with toxic fats and seed oils (Stupid American Diet) is pretty much the perfect storm of metabolic calamity. No one necessarily has to have a 'dodgy pancreas' beforehand. All of the above will go a long way to giving them one.
This.So a nurse did a misinformed comedy "one liner" from "family guy..."
Focusing on her job as an HCP in the middle of a national crisis from a certain virus & caught out by the camera glare of a news crew.. Also equally the fottage could have been sensitively cut & left on the floor by an informed film editor?
This is unfortunate, you know exactly what I mean. This type of response deflects. I have seen many of your posts so know you are very intelligent (I am not saying this in a bad way).I assume you are referring to certain diabetics. Or are you suggesting that a 6 month old baby has unknowingly given themselves type 1 diabetes.
