Message: <blockquote data-quote="tim2000s" data-source="post: 816649" data-attributes="member: 30007">I guess many diabetics would see it as a statement of blame. If it is hard work to keep BG levels somewhere in a sensible range and therefore keep going, what might be an objective statement becomes a very perjorative one.The term control in this context is a verb, and therefore "poorly controlled" implies that someone be doing something badly, which leads very strongly to feelings of blame on the person who must be the doer.Similarly to [USER=70171]@Engineer88[/USER] I've experienced some very clearly unambiguous comments relating to Hba1C results that are supposed to suggest that I could do better. Tone has been everything.</blockquote>
