[QUOTE="Mbaker, post: 2473483, member: 256617"] There is a cognitive dissonance and mass group think about what is normal. Some like me just need the scare and the facts to change everything. Some don't care and wait for a diagnosis. Some don't know the facts and believe the mainstream dogma. One of my neighbours is an ex-nurse with Type 2. "We" have talked to her and she has seen what I do, but she still literally eats crisps, cakes and fizzy drinks. She has had to wear a leg boot for charcot foot, has a wheelchair and an ambulance comes out around 3 to 4 times a year. I find this very upsetting that we have not been able to persuade her to take an alternative route. I think people like Jen Unwin can help "hard cases", but I have watched 2 diabetes documentaries for reversal / remission of diabetes, with all of the food and mental support; even given these scenarios people were choosing to not be helped. I have learned not to judge, as I don't understand. [/QUOTE]
