Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dillinger" data-source="post: 295096" data-attributes="member: 13582">I very much admire Richard Dawkins and his super keen intellect.The attached is a short extract from his book A Devil's Chaplain. It's a very simple bit of writing (aimed at a 10 year old) dealing with  good and bad reasons for believing anything; the good being evidence the bad being authority, tradition and revelation.Now, as diabetics we don't get much in the way of revelations to support why or how we should treat our condition; the message on the tablets was not metformin after all, but we do get a great big dose of authority (hello dieticians, hello practice nurses) and tradition (hello high carb low fat diets). The evidence that we need to use comes through blood testing strips; without them we are in the dark and will be trampled by authority and tradition.Have a read of this and arm yourself against that type of thinking.BestDillinger<a href="http://openparachute.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/prayer-for-my-daughter.pdf" target="_blank">http://openparachute.files.wordpress.co ... ughter.pdf</a></blockquote>
