"UNHEALTHY HABIT SUCH AS DIABETES"

Yes folks thats that's what the METRO paper has as a headliner on the prescription pills being dished out to the nation. Habit what a cheek I wish I'd known my type 1 was just a habit it might have made it easier to give it up PAH ! Where are these people coming from? I do take a lot of medication of different sought and it does stabilise my several medical conditions but I'm glad now that I know that the METRO paper has made a proper diagnosis and their habits :-(
 
They're just continuing their ill informed rant about diabetes. Back in January 2013 they were blaming the parents of people with type I for their condition. In September 2013 they said that obesity was a precursor to Diabetes, they should look up the word 'precursor'. I hope I've got the same Metro.
I going to generalise and say that anything written by a non diabetic is going to be way off the mark. We're not all experts, I'm still learning, but we do know a lot more about this condition than some dozy git thinking up stories for his paper. They should look up the word 'news' as in newspaper.
I suppose my diet that means that I don't take Gliclazide, Januvia or Atorvastatin is a habit, a bit like breathing.
 

I will try and have a look to see if I can find it today, but...............

A full 1/3 or more of the worlds population is susceptible to the habit and in some populations it is close to 90%
 
Well diabetes is one habit we all would like to kick
I would gladly pick up another habit if I could get rid of the diabetes one,I have never heard of something so Ridiculous.Looks like we have no choice but to carry on picking our noses lol.Well I don't do that dirty habit cannot answer for anyone else lol.
Hope everyone is well today
 

Yes, doing okay thanks Snowy, apart from a sore nose that is..............

I've got a good habit.

I don't bother getting annoyed by the stereotyping of diabetics that the media convey in newspapers. Their ignorance knows no bounds especially in their health articles.
 
Strange. Never considered a life threatening condition a habit before. I'll add it to my list.Please don't tell Mrs Nuthead as she says I've got enough disgusting habits without gaining another one.
