BTW, the nyms are not only unfamiliar, but also meaningless. I.e. the
socks might as well be *really* anonymous.

When I was working with doctors one of my duties was to sometimes take
patients' complaints, vital signs and get their medical histories. In many
instances it would have been easier to pull hen's teeth.
Some people simply would not, for what ever their reason, give the
information we needed and had to have in order to do an intelligent
evaluation of their illness and make a diagnosis of what was wrong with them
and determine how to treat their illness.
I have found there are at least as many bad patients as doctors.

Considering the amount of patients compared to the amount of doctors, I
believe you're on to something.
Cheri
There is no patient training. Some few doctors should
have gone on to do something else with their medical
degrees. Research is a great alternative, for example.
Who knows!
Doctors are "told" what the definitive bg is to be for diagnosis. Why should
a GP know any more than he/she has to? GP: Learns a little about a lot.
Endo: 8 years + learning about the endocrine system. My endo for example
thinks the definitive bg for diagnosis is way too high and hogwash but my GP
at diagnosis took the figures he was given as gospel. It was ultimately an
OGTT that spun it for my diagnosis.
GP's can't be expected to research every disease to the nth degree. They
don't need to know everything, just enough to make a diagnosis and if unsure
enough to know they need to refer a patient to a specialist.
I think sometimes it's not so much 'bad' as 'fearful.' For example, for
a long time I avoided my MD, because I had a history of diabetes in my
family, was way overweight, and was pretty sure deep down that I was
probably diabetic. So I guess I avoided it because if my MD didn't say
it, then it wasn't true.
I have a good friend who is now doing the same thing.
And then there are some folks that simply don't care.

Thanks for responding on topic to the OP (just because other dummies
in this group don't like my posts, does not necessarily mean I am a
troll; their ignorance of what is a "nym" and what "socks" are is
laughable-hope the know more about diabetes than they do about the
usenet)
Just as I said in the OP. Most doctors are simply ignorant. I can
find the appropriate diagnostic criterion for diabetes,in so far as
is possible, given the ignorance in the field, with 20 minutes of
internet searching. These doctors had years to consider the relevant
diagnostic criteria for what is an endemic disease and STILL do not
know. Amazing. I feel sad for these people who trust their treatment
to their doctors. Are there exceptions, of course. But the medical
field is filled with incompetents. Go TRIAL LAWYERS!

No, the question is, does Susan know more about diabetes than she
does about "nyms". I hope so, for her sake. ;-)
Another dummie who doesn't know anything about "socks" , "nyms" or
the usenet.
Point taken, However in my case I gave them everything, rubbed their
noses in it and TOLD them point blank it was diabetes. Ignoranuses
really, the lot of them.
BULL. If a GP does not know the current diagnostic criteria and
other information I can get online in 20 minutes of searching, that
GP needs to be back in medical school, not harming patients in
public practice.
If you say so! What would I know after only two and a half decade(+)
of experience? And it's "the usenet", is it? And try to quote/format
properly, and spell, and ...
But since you object to "socks", is EMAK any better for you? We aim to

And if they're not nyms, which indeed they're not really, what would
*you* call your sillyness in your From: lines?

Did you already spot *your* *earlier* error, "dummie"? (And you should
use scare quotes, because you're not quoting.)

Nope. It's not "the usenet", but "Usenet" (i.e. without "the").
And no, you're not the only clueless person on this world, so *of
course* your broken search gives broken 'answers'.

"socks server"? You're (not "your") really a hilarious "dummie",
aren't you? The "socks" terms has nothing at all to do with a socks
server, nor with the "socks" part of "socks server".

I'd ask you to explain what a socks server is, but you'd just look
it up on google and claim you knew all along. But that's ok, you
probably cannot read with comprehension and, after all, you cannot
remain an ignoramus forever.

Exactly which part of "has nothing at all to do with" didn't you
understand?
*You* whine about "socks server" which (I *said*) is *totally
unrelated* to the term "socks" I used, and now you expect *me* to
explain what *you* are talking about? Mind boggling!
But let me help you a bit, otherwise you'll just emit another broken
Google search. The "socks" I used is the plural of the term "sock". So
"sock" is the term you need to look up.
And another free tip: Google has the "define:" operator for looking up
the definitions of terms. If you do a "define:" type of search, the
explanation you're (not) looking for is near the bottom (and in "Related
phrases:" at the top).

You're arguing with an obvious troll, all of whose socks post from the same
server.
It bears repeating:
Never wrestle with a pig.
You both get covered with shit, and the pig *likes* it!
There is no need to proof read my posts for an ignoramus like you.
<snip>
Just as I said before you don't know what a socks server is.
You cannot explain it because you do not know.
I would explain it for you, but I don't wish to enhance the
knowledge of a jackoff.
Ok just to make you morons happy, I am giving you a socks server
now. Have fun with it, dummies.
Very funny how all these people try to comment on things they know
nothing about.
If we did not have trial lawyers, then all these doctors who violate
their Hippocracy (sic) Oath would not be held accountable. Like the
idiot who infused a young girl with the wrong blood type and then
just chalked it up to "mistakes happen"
Nope. It misses the (positive) qualifications needed to be a troll.
> all of whose socks post from the same server.
No offense, but *I* mentioned "socks" first, so I'm very well aware
that it's a set of socks.
BTW, it's using more than one server in it's pathetic attempt to make
killfiling more difficult.
[Now it will probably burst another vein thinking that you or/and I mean
a socks server when you/I say "server".]
> It bears repeating:
> Never wrestle with a pig.
> You both get covered with shit, and the pig *likes* it!
*"wrestle"*? You're kidding, right!? :-)
Anyway, I think you'd better give your 'warning' to those in this
group who respond (somewhat) *seriously* to it, i.e. respond to it's
diabetes/medical/<whatever> postings. As long as it (the set of socks)
disturbes the *real* purpose of the group, I see no advantage in keeping
quiet and letting it get away with it. But I'm open to other, workable,
methods.

I've got a 64K question!!! Why does a spat creat 42 (er... 43, if you
now include mine!) responses, when we could have used the same amount
of energy.......AND benevolence, to discuss the diabetes topic.
Im sure lots of people still come here hoping to find answers and
assistance on their condition - and it can be rather offputting
(should there have been a hyphen there?) to find a load of *strangers*
raging a war that has nothing to do with anything.
Ah........ the wonderful world of usenet/google groups!
Im still scared that alot of doctors have not got a clue how to help
Type I's or II's who are completely out of control of their glucose
levels.
An insulin dependant friend of mine was recently given a new insulin
to *lose weight* - she lost weight (lots of it) but her glucose levels
are now hitting the 18 (324) mark!! God help her........ because it
doesnt look like her doctor can!!!!
Because of different definitions for Type-2 Diabetes Mellitus.
Type-2 Diabetes Mellitus is **not** correctly diagnosed by either
label or symptom cluster.
Instead, it is diagnosed by objective evidence of abnormal fasting
blood glucose and/or abnormal glucose tolerance test and/or abnormal
glycosylated hemoglobin (HgbA1c).

Hi Mack,
Im sure her doctor is aware that her numbers are way too high - for a
lady who doesnt understand the dietary/exercise requirements for
diabetics, she is aware that her numbers are way higher than they were
before the switch in meds. I know her numbers were high before that
(again, due to not understanding the do's and dont's of eating/
exercising when diabetic) but not as high as now.
To be honest, I have two friends who are diabetic (the lady I have
mentioned who is using insulin and a male friend who is on Metformin)
and both of them have consistently high numbers due to eating the
wrong foods, over-eating and not exercising. They both rely on their
doctors only for advice and havent sought further information to
assist in lowering and keeping numbers low. I have given them
guidelines on what to eat etc but it seems binge eating starchy carbs
is something they are not prepared to give up. My male friend has
retinopathy in one eye and the other is going that way too - I did
tell him, but he chose not to listen!!
I believe that doctors or diabetes related professionals, who are ill-
informed or complacent about the diabetic condition, should be trained
to persuade patients to take a pro-active and positive stance to stay
healthy. Alot of people I know simply dont have a clue, including
health professionals.
How do we change the tunnel vision?

You have been given the right answer to your question.
The right answer remains the good answer even though you do not like
the answer.
The true definition of good is that which GOD wants.
May GOD give you, neighbor, a new heart and a new spirit (Ezekiel
11:19-20 and 36:26) so that you would be born again of water and
Spirit (John 3:3 and 3:5) so that you would come to trust the truth,
Who is Jesus.
I see you not only are a follower of Jesus, you think you ARE Jesus.
Try a remedial course in reading comprehension; have a nice day.
You contradict yourself.
This does not bode well for your level of cognitive functioning.
May GOD soften your heart, neighbor, so that you would come to trust
the truth, Who is Jesus:
Amen.
