Thank you Alan.
I am brand new here. I have not had a chance to read your blog, but
thank you for sharing. I have alot to learn! Great confusion and
concern about what is not known. Wishing that meds decisions were
easier to make. I am gratedul for the honest opinions expressed as
well as for the openess that I found in the doctors that I have
consulted. They often discuss their own way of deciding and have told
me how, in my case, they balance pros and cons. I listen...and then
TRY to evaluate and decide what risk/benefit I should take based upon
the information that they have provided for me. I have found them
often grappling with the same debate that I have. Honest discussion.
Helpful, but wish that things were clearer.
Wishing all of us good health and happiness. Tens years from now we
may look back and say that why did I do X...or be grateful that I did
X. We know what we know when long term information is available...just
as researchers and doctors do. I cannot expect them to guess what
future studies will show.

Welcome.

Good to see you. My comments were a minor warning on trolls
and kooks. Do what you wish, but there are certain posters
that end up in most people's killfiles. Chung, ironjustice
and Jai Maharaj are three obvious ones.

Crossposts that are across this core group of diabetes
groups are no problem:

alt.support.diabetes
misc.health.diabetes
alt.food.diabetic
alt.support.diabetes.uk

However, crossposts that include other groups such as
sci.med.cardiology are usually (not always) trolls or kooks.
That's been my experience anyhow.

I'll look forward to seeing your other posts in other
threads. Tell us a little more about your diabetes situation
and how you are managing your own d&e.


Cheers, Alan, T2, Australia.
