[QUOTE="KennyS, post: 320631, member: 48174"] I really think that is the case. You can see from the first post on here about the persons doctor admitting that they were also a diabetic and very much over weight. We live in a very lazy world, or at least the western part of the world, and expect that if we have an ailment, we should just go to the doctor, get a pill and carry on. My nurse told me that I was one of the most proactive people that she had seen... 'star patient :angel: ' which would indicate to me that most are not interested in taking control. The problem that I have is that the medical staff don't try to fire their patients up to be proactive in their own health. One person on this thread said that that their nurse told them that it wasn't any good because they would just obsess.... H3ll, if being told that you are now the proud owner of a non curable degenerative condition that has blindness, amputation and inability to drive as its consequences.... doesn't focus your mind, I am not too sure what in life is very important ! Good job getting the meters for your folks.... teach them what you learn here and if they have a windows pc, get a little free program called 'Health Diabetic Software v3.0.411. It not only tracks BG but BP, most important markers taken in a general blood panel, HbA1c, meds, notes etc. Anyway.... good look Kenny :thumbup: [/QUOTE]
