[QUOTE="lucylocket61, post: 1757992, member: 41885"] In the UK ignorant and uneducated mean the same thing, as in not knowing something. Its not a rude term here. I read it as the poster meaning that the person needed to be educated about diabetes and its effects, not educated in the 'general education' meaning of the term. I have US friends who consider the term 'ignorant' to be very rude, as they seem to have a different slant on the meaning over there, from what I can gather. This is an international forum, and different words can have different meanings, depending on where you come from. I try to assume the posters mean well, and ask for clarification these days.
