[QUOTE="pavlosn, post: 685019, member: 22572"] Taking your argument to its logical conclusion, are you saying that there should not be any target glucose levels for diabetes. Why stop at 8,4? Why not interpret any reading as possibly being someone's normal level? Perhaps you are right and there is no such thing as diabetes. Perhaps we have all been conned into paying for medication and monitors and strips. Somehow, I do not believe you are right though. When was the last time a three hour post prandial reading of 8,4 was considered non diabetic and when where the guidelines changed to make such a reading unacceptable. Even if you do not agree with their current dietary recommendation, which many of us do not, you can not be so dismissive of an entire profession and of years of research. Maintaining a healthy dose of skepticism is not a bad thing but I believe your post takes this too far. To me you are not being skeptical you are being in denial and that is a dangerous state to be in. Pavlos [/QUOTE]
