Are they any relation to the thousands of diabetics Alan personally
meets every week. :)

I appreciate your snark here, but the truth is that Alan and a few
others are the ones who claim there are so many lurkers of this
newsgroup. Whether anyone is harmed or even helped by the advice here
is impossible to verify. One thing is for sure, there is some heavy
handed advice pushed in this newsgroup that runs counter to what the
preofessional medical community advises. A few in here are convinced
that they know better. Fine for them, but they present their opinions
as facts. That has the potential to be harmful to anyone who might
believe those opinions over what is truly fact.
