Well, I think I understand the motivation for the post, but I also think I am insulted and not happy at the implications of what kind of person I must be, to have gotten diabetes. Perhaps it would be best not to include essentially "name calling" and "blaming" and simply admit its hard work to stay healthy with diabetes.
We have NO idea if people have died from complications of diabetes for thousands of years, even when eating a "proper" diet and working hard every day just to stay alive. I am personally pissed off at science that NOW figures out what is wrong, and assumes that its because of this or that, and has only been a problem since soda, or ice cream made its appearance. People have been overweight forever. Just because the government calls folks obese, doesn't mean a damn thing. Look at the historical photos of just this nations founders. Fat ain't something that just started in the 20th century folks.
Its not unilike scientists who could never measure the ozone, but now that they can, they assume we are destroying it because its changing size all the time, or those who can now more accuractely measure the earth's temperature and compare it to the inferior methods of only a hundred years ago and cry "OMG, we are destroying the planet!!!!" or the fools who can now measure the ground from satellites with amazing accuracy, and determine that since the ground in Yellowstone Park is rising by millimeters, its time to worry about an eruption and parts of the park have to be closed, even tho, its probably been rising and falling since the park was formed.
Sorry to rant, but I don't like the tone of being told what a fool I have been, and how I have destroyed my body and must now pay the price, but then, that's just me.
