Guest guest Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 I was distressed by a piece on the ABC evening news tonight. I know that it is not unusual to be categorized, but they came right out and said, not intimated or skirted around, flat outright said that Type II diabetes is caused by poor diet, lack of exercise and obesity. They were saying that diabetes had increased several million since 2003 and then went on to state that if you have diabetes it is basically your own fault. Placing such a stigma on people who have a chronic condition, to me, is a bit like overkill. I guess you cannot change City Hall and how people think about diabetics, but I certainly do not expect to hear something like that on the news. Down off soap box.
