[QUOTE="Grazer, post: 242850, member: 31362"] Bystander, my first aim always is to help with my posts, not be confrontational, so I don't want to enter into a dispute with you. However, this forum has showed me that length of time a person has had diabetes is not a good guide to their knowledge of it. We have "newbies" to the forum who have had diabetes for years but don't even understand the effect of carbs on BGs. We have others recently diagnosed who understand everything from the operation of the Islets of Langerhan to the difference between first and second phase insulin response. It's not the time, it's the amount the individual has learned in that time. Fact is, WE can cause low blood sugar by exercising without eating, etc, diabetes as an illness doesn't if you're on diet only. Diabetes T2 is about the bodies inability to produce enough insulin, or use it properly, or both. This means sugar can't be taken out of the blood adequately do our sugar levels are too high. It DOESN'T make it go too low - we do that, either by the meds we take or the lack of food. If we're not on meds, it's lack of food which applies equally to non diabetics. [/QUOTE]
