This sort of thing is what I've been carping about since I found this
ragtag group. You people out there need to stop being convinced of your
medical expertise and focus on moral support rather than spouting off at
the mouth about treatment plans.

(And you guys wonder why I piss and moan about your know-it-all
attitudes...)

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. Using a NG
to learn about DM is subject to peril. If the information contained on
this NG was basically accurate, there wouldn't be such a volume of
dissension over "facts". And there's the self important contingent who
dredge up cites to bolster their POV. Only problem is that the POV is
an "opinion" more often than not, rather than FACT.


Now I'll let business go on as usual, with the clueless leading the
newbies. I wonder who the next casualty will be.

cosign! well said david. and it needed to be.

As I don't read b.a.d., and I do read you Sally (you lucky woman!)
This is the first I have read of this tirade. I wonder if b.a.d. was
there saying the advice was bad when it was given, or is it just
Monday morning quarterbacking.......
