[QUOTE="Grounded, post: 413114, member: 78138"] 'There seems to be rather a lot of slim, fit people, who have had an excellent diet for years, that seem to be either diabetic or pre-diabetic, What is going on?' ...........which begs the question: is the label 'diabetic' being hung on too many people? We are talking about (in many cases) milimols (yes 'milli' - thousandths) per mol in mearsurement and it really does seem that on one day you can be on the wrong side of a line, on another the right side. I know these numbers have been empirically derived but a line in the sand can be moved (and has been, I believe, by the Americans). For me, the label 'diabetic' could bring my professional working life to an end - we are quibling over + or - 1mmol. There's too much riding for a lot of people over a line in the sand. [/QUOTE]
