[QUOTE="Guzzler, post: 2158451, member: 408573"] `Picture this. You hear of an acquaintance who has one or two of these conditions: Kidney failure - on dialysis Heart failure or heart attack OA and desperately needing new hip/knee Dementia or Altzheimer's Disease Liver failure needing transplant Gastroparesis Blindness or severe loss of sight Hearing loss Cancer Who, in their right mind, would attach blame? But add in obesity or Type 2 Diabetes to each of those conditions and all of a sudden people are allowed to point the finger, to make assumptions about the sufferer's lifestyle choices and to apportion blame. To stigmatise people with T2 is bad enough, to stigmatise ourselves by apportioning blame is ten times worse. [/QUOTE]
