I'd like to know ways on how to have healthy living until I got into this website that has all I need. It also informs me about dynamic psychotherapy, alternative health, holistic healing and alternative natural healing. It was helpful to me to know these things especially that I am now taking care my family. With this I can really refer to this website http://www.createyourhealth.com/wordpress/

ironically, the earlier nomenclature is probably better for the vernacular- i rarely hear general patients use "type" with diabetes- the usual breakdown is something like 'the diabetes you get as a child v. adult diabetes'- and the use of insulin is the important practical distinction- so perhaps for laypatients, the only distinction of necessity is diabetes with insulin or diabetes without insulin
But isn't that the problem? Your patients use only what they know.. Which probably came from their grandmother from Appalachia! Great example, my father told the pediatrician, when I was diagnosed, that he had been told by his mother that if he ate too much sugar he would get diabetes. During the depression, two favorite desserts existed: celery sticks with sugar poured into the rib, and white bread smeared with butter and sugar. He told the doc, "She's never had celery with sugar?" My father was no slouch, but he had what many people suffer: medical ignorance!
Wouldn't it be better than a dream to find them learning about diabetes, starting with the varieties?
Btw, I've been sitting in front of the TV all day; I still have diabetes!
