[QUOTE="datkins65, post: 1233010, member: 320568"] I apologize for your interpretation of the purpose of my blog. First, culturally sensitive is a word applied to diabetic education which denotes an applied RESPECT for the desired and traditional foods of a culture. For instance, when dietary changes are suggested, we never alienate traditional food from the diet, because this adds to the inability of compliance to a prescribed diet. I am so sorry for the "stigma" that is placed on diabetics in the UK. This is a shame, as diabetes is a worldwide problem and it requires asking public opinion as to why the treatment regimens are failing. By the way, Avocado, THIS IS NOT PLACING JUDGEMENT ON ANYONE, sir. It is merely asking an opinion of intelligent knowledgeable people who suffer from diabetes as to what they feel is the main reason we have problems adhering to a prescribed dietary regimen. If you do not wish to participate, then please do not. There is no room for prejudice and finger pointing in finding a solution to this devastating disease. Diabetes does not care if you are the Prime Minister of the UK or the President of the United States, it strikes down anyone regardless of status, race, age, or socioeconomic status. Focus on helping others, sir, not slamming down any attempt to gather knowledge. Blessing to you and your health. [/QUOTE]
