[QUOTE="Pneu, post: 202229, member: 28827"] Although I can understand concern that newbies may read the thread and think '[i]gah I am never going to achieve those numbers![/i]' may it also not be taken as a positive that once you have control of your diabetes and you have learnt what works for you that 'those numbers' aren't so unachievable or scary at all? I don't think we should be portraying that good control is easy because if it was then everyone would be happy and none of us would be on this forum! But at the same time promoting that it is possible has to be a positive to those who are trying.. I read this forum for a long time before I posted and took a lot of encouragement from other peoples positive results and experiences... I think all to often people take a negative view and we should be promoting a positive outlook [/QUOTE]
