[QUOTE="Debandez, post: 2032577, member: 460354"] Sometimes it feels like we are moving one step forward and two steps back. Yet when I step back to take a look at the overall picture it's clear things are moving in the right direction. It's a mammoth task. Turning the titanic with your pinky. But the evidence is out there. The science is backing us. The wisdom of the crowds will prevail. I think I expected every diabetic or at least most would want to do what we do ie control bs to put the beast into remission once they were informed it was indeed possible, and how to do it. But not so. Many i have met have been diabetic for years. Over 20. The only advice they have had is from their own DN and we all know what that consists of. Then a little voice like mine pops up to tell my story. But they seem to be past caring and happy to continue with increased meds and eating what they want. Up to now they have only probably had a little telling off from their DNs who at the same time handed them a new prescription. To them this is their solution to controlling it. And the complications just go with the territory. I dont feel I can say too much overstep the mark. These people enjoy coming together once a month. Some dont get out other than to this meeting. I dont want to put them off by standing on my orange box every month and preaching. I told them that next month I'm going to bring in a weekly food planner. What I eat. Where I buy things from, how much they cost. Hints and tips sheet including things like good swaps. But not go too deep. I'm keeping it simple. (GIVING THIS TO MY DNs TOO). The good news is that the lady who runs our meeting has gone low carb and is loving it!!! I'm more than happy with that. You gave me an idea. I'm going to add some quotes to that, like yours. Great way of highlighting the enormous benefits. Thank you. [/QUOTE]
