[QUOTE="ziggy_w, post: 2030413, member: 323454"] Hello all. A bit late posting today, got Easter shopping out of the way today, happy that I don't have to brave the grocery stores later this week. Fasting blood sugars were 4.6 today. [USER=54885]@dogslife[/USER] -- Glad the scan went well. Keeping my fingers crossed for a positive outcome. [USER=486327]@Chronicle_Cat[/USER] and [USER=54885]@dogslife[/USER] -- My full and utmost respect for what you do to help and support your loved ones. [USER=238814]@gennepher[/USER] -- Sounds a bit like a nightmare -- would actually be funny if it wasn't so sad. [USER=502584]@Traceymac23[/USER] and [USER=497882]@Caeseji[/USER] -- Great fasting blood sugars. I'm impressed.

I believe having read somewhere that being able to memorize really well is helpful when studying to become a GP. Later when in practice many seem to follow guidelines and decision diagrams to arrive at a treatment plan. A research scientist's job (ideally) is to question the status quo, to develop new theories explaining various phenomena (such as diabetes), to discover underlying rules and relationships which govern these things -- thinking of people like Ben Bikman in this regard (but also Dave Feldman and Ivor Cummins in this regard).

On a positive note, I have feeling things are changing slowly. Many of the newbies joining the forum seem to have been advised to go low-carb by their GPs. Definitely a very hopeful sign. Have a great day, everyone. [/QUOTE]
