For and against?

And so continues the "great divide". People here with the same
condition. People here to share, confide, assist, learn. But with
differing opinions on the do's and dont's - and with those
differences, comes division.

Why do we choose to get aggressive and alienate each other with our
differing opinions?

There are those who believe that certain aspects of a diet that
differs from that of *professional* advice is dangerous to the health
of those choosing not to follow official guidelines. Doesnt that show
an element of caring and fear for others health??

And those that continue to poo-poo the official guidelines - are they
not proof enough that their decision is working for them?

If the primary aspect of diabetes is to keep blood glucose levels down
to a certain and consistent level and a balanced diet, albeit starchy
carbs or not, is maintaining this aspect - are we wrong? Like, is it
wrong for someone to find those *taboo* foods working for them?

If this is about Type I vs Type II - why? We are different in how our
diabetes affects our bodies (what we lack and how we replenish) but
why should these difference divide us?

We are all here for the same reason - common ground in sharing the
same condition. And if our conditions are kept in control by our
chosen dietary requirements, why are we divided when we should be
congratulating and praising for the endeavours, the courage, the work
involved in keeping ourselves from the evils of complications?

Some here are very angry and frustrated that others dont follow
official guidelines - but if the blood glucose levels are healthy, why
should there be a bone of contention?

And if those who do follow official guidelines are having consistently
healthy blood glucose levels, why should there be a bone of
contention?

We beg to differ - but if its working to maintain our health - what is
the problem??
