well, I guess the jokes on me because I didn't notice who wrote the
article, but given that it makes the statments about A1c even more
confusing since the ADA site mentions the very thing I quoted. so many
in here always use that "ADA says 7% is okay" that it's surprising
someone from the ADA would not state clearly what the ADA's real stand
on it is.

I have no problem with seeing the funny side of me, but not the
continual ADA bashing in here. and mostly by the low carb zealots who
hate the fact that the ADA doesn't back their austere beliefs. so
forgive me if I don't laugh about that.

what also surprises me....and maybe it shouldn't.....is that you don't
find anything wrong with jenny's malicious and unfounded statements.
or maybe you just saw the funny side of her maligning.
