I'm being down right obtuse.I think you are being a tad selective
I understand some Latin. No it does not.1.Death
2. Kill
3. Death
4. Kills
5. Destroy life
6. Kills
That s each quote in turn. "reductio ad absurdum" applies
Sorry, but I disagree - your argument is that it is my body's inability to process arsenic and cyanide that is a problem, rather that they are poisonous to me!When you resort to defining something from the dictionary to make your argument you know you are on shaky ground.
The sugar does not cause harm the body's inability to process it causes harm.
If your body is running to low on sugar you need to quickly ingest fast acting sugar to avoid a potential fatal response in extreme cases. Now go back to the dictionary and see if it defines a poison as something you take to do avoid harm.
You can't have it both ways.
Hi @Brunneria
Have I got this wrong.
Hypos can occur natural, quick on the spot treatment is sugar. I don't need to be right just don't want to be spouting nonsense, I did check it before I posted is there a sutaltie that I am missing?
P.s. If I ever gt hold of the person who created this spell checker him/her and the bloke that put the Almost Dry Setting on my tumble dryer will get such a slap.
Obviously not as much as you think.I understand some Latin. No it does not.
You can disagree with anything you want to Ian.Sorry, but I disagree - your argument is that it is my body's inability to process arsenic and cyanide that is a problem, rather that they are poisonous to me!
I am not going to join in your childish game any further. This is not panto landObviously not as much as you think.
And yes it does.
‘Natural hypos’ are relatively rare, but they happen.
There is a widespread and incorrect belief, that often gets presented here on the forum, that hypos only happen if insulin or other glucose lowering medications are used.
So 1 exclamation mark wasn't enough for you. I would use one too but I think you used them all up.Not quite!
There has to be a cause!
Am I just being thick here?So you can have Hypoglycaemic episodes without having diabetes and not because of meds!
I believe glucose is best for correcting hypos rather than other forms of sugar eg sucrose as it is absorbed faster?for someone having a hypo the standard treatment was sugar. That is still correct right.
;So 1 exclamation mark wasn't enough for you. I would use one too but I think you used them all up.
No, I have plenty more!!!!!!
A hypo is caused by a drop in blood glucose, Have I got that correct?
Natural in this case is not caused by taking medicine in any form they "occur naturally". Is that also correct?
Yes.
I would not say natural is the correct word or naturally as RH is not a condition that nature had in mind for the majority of the population.
Am I just being thick here?
No just being you!
You are agreeing that hypos "occur naturally" is it because I missed of the "y" in my post. (the spell checker is not very good) Am I wrong in saying you would give this person sugar?
I don'g get it.
No! I would never use sugar on me or anybody else who is having a hypo there are better alternatives.
(Added in edit)
I went and re-read your previous posts on this thread and see that for you sugar is a bad choice. This does not make it a bad choice for every one. I never mentioned RH I said for someone having a hypo the standard treatment was sugar. That is still correct right.
Think I just answered that!
In my experience, sugar is not recommended as the standard treatment. I believe glucose tablets, jelly babies and glucose is preferable for those diabetic hypos.
You have misread the definitions - they all allow the possibility of non-fatal harm which means they can be non-deadly.If i'm right and you agree that the OP uses 6 quotes from dictionary definitions all of which state that poison is deadly, begin re-framed as "so, essentially something that does you harm" is changing the definition to fit a desired out come i.e. sugar is a poison. Then tell him....
...it's just not cricket.
Apparently, you needed reminding of what "poison" means, so it was a worthy exercise (and I didn't exclude any definitions I found, so I wasn't selective.)We all know what poison means.
You selected the part of the definition you liked.so I wasn't selective
Not quite. Table sugar (Sucrose) is a disaccharide comprising a 50:50 compound of fructose and glucose (monosaccharides) so is not so biovalent to human digestion as the separate components. It takes longer to act. Glucose can enter cells when insulin is present, and can provide energy directly according to the Citric Cycle, but Fructose goes to the liver and is of no use in the case of solving hypos. It can be used later as a lipid but not a carb.Quote system seems to have go awry. "In my experience, sugar is not recommended as the standard treatment. I believe glucose tablets, jelly babies and glucose is preferable for those diabetic hypos."
Why have you gone so far out of you're way to try and avoid saying I'm right.
I don't have a horse in this race. Of course its Glucose. Glucose is a sugar.
Sugar is the topic of this conversation set out by the OP.

No matter how much you want me to be wrong.Not quite.
A wise man once said.....You are right that glucose is a sugar. But the dictionary definition of this sugar is sugar made from sugar cane or sugar beets, that are used as table sugar.
When you resort to defining something from the dictionary to make your argument you know you are on shaky ground.
