I am disappointed.

Let me start this by saying I am diabetic. Many of my family members are Diabetic - diagnosed back to my great-grandfather but family history seems to indicate it was further back than that. There is a genetic factor in T2 and I had the luck to win the lottery in my generation as my mum did in hers. For all my life there has been diabetics around me.

This group was my original DS group so therefore I have a special connection to it - always will. But while I have not had time to read all the posts on here - from what I have read I have to agree with WV. I see nothing on here apart from personality differences and disagreements and even if there were one here no CL is going to get involved with them.

As I have mentioned in one of the other posts I have stayed away from this group for other reasons but saw a discussion about it on another group (like Bobbi and WV) and thought I would venture back here to see what if anything had changed. Seems that not much has, Chip and Arline are still here but I do not recognise any of the other names.

To be honest even though I will remain a member I do not think I will bother coming back here - at least not for a while as there is very little in the way of actual discussion about diabetes, treatments and what is good and not good to do for each of us. And we all are different. Each of us have our reasons for being here and we all need to respect that.

I have spent years trying to find a med that will keep my levels down AND that my body will actually tolerate and some of the side effects you do not ever want to have - trust me. And I have to live with some of them for the rest of my life now.

One last thing I would like to mention.
Please remember that IF you have a problem with a person or persons on this or any other board in DS or personally it might help to use the ignore button.

Good luck with your sugar levels everyone and hopefully those potential problems that can come as a result of T2 will NOT knock on your doors.

" You know I had a thought.
Most people who are true educators - in whatever field they happen to work in, schools, colleges, universities, diabetes - are only too happy and willing to learn from others and especially those who have first hand experience in a particular area.
Something to think about. "
