but didn't Chris J follow the advice of the know-it-all posters in this NG and for his troubles, he is having vision problems? so how come he keeps praising the posters here for helping him cope with his new disease? Seems by listening to them, he's paying one hell of a price.

No. As a matter of fact, if you had been reading Chris' postings, you'd see that he came to this newsgroup and read the advice here _after_ he had brought his blood sugars down from 600 to near normal.


The smartest thing a new diabetic can do is discuss every question with their medical team (endo, internist, CDE, dietitian (I'm dubious about their advice though), and pick up a few books on diabetes.

Chris' diabetes was discovered while he was being treated in a hospital for a severe infection and was given insulin in the hospital by his doctors. That is was what brought his blood sugars down dramatically.

It is also worth pointing out that after he kept his blood sugars down with his dietary changes, his doctors give him very positive feedback.

So your attempting to twist what happened to him into an attack on people you don't agree with looks pretty mean-spirited.
