[QUOTE="fletchweb, post: 1220487, member: 318202"] I couldn't agree with you more JasminDolly, living with type 1 for 50 years I try to avoid health professionals as they seem to be driven by the mis-information of pharma marketing. This just isn't in relation to diabetes but to all things in my opinion. Case in point - a news story in the media today suggests there is no medical advantage to flossing ones teeth and the belief that there is began in 1979 when the companies that make floss started a major marketing campaign to increase their volume of sales. That's just one example, I suspect there are many others if one was willing to take the time to explore it further. As well, as a kid visiting the doctor there was no "you got to take this or you got to take that" pressure in my diabetes management but today, if you don;t have anxiety or Obsessive Compulsive Disorder going in to the doctor's office you have it going out. Biggest trend in in diabetes management at this time is prescribing statins, and of course if you prescribe a statin you also need blood pressure meds to protect the kidneys from the statins. I have zero trust in the Big Pharma health sciences. [/QUOTE]
