Guest guest Posted June 26, 2000 Report Share Posted June 26, 2000 We went to our son's graduation dinner last night. (he just finished his third year of residency.) The meal was tossed salad, veal marsala, white dinner rolls, boiled new potatoes, and cooked carrots. Now, you know I don't count carbs, but WHTIE rolls, potatoes, and carrots in the same meal! Not even *I* will eat that kind of meal. Let alone all the pies and cakes they had for dessert. I ate the salad, veal, and part of the potatoes, then had the waitress take the plate away and bring me some coffee. My son, the new doctor, sat there and grinned at me. Evidently, for the patients he saw during his residency, there would have been no question -- they would have eaten the entire meal, never questioning it. He said with those patients, it's not a question of whether to eat potatoes AND carrots, but whether or not they should eat ice cream on their pie. Damn!

It's funny how some folks will always go to have the symptom treated, but never give a darn about what is causing it, or want to learn about it. It has to be frustrating for the new Doc! Especially with a Mom who is showing him how it should be! -- Dave -- Monday, June 26, 2000 t2 8/98 Glucophage & *anything* laced with Aspartame ICQ 10312009 «» DavOr's daily aphorism: Some things have got to be believed to be seen. «» Visit my photo page at: http://dorcutt.homepage.com/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 29, 2000 Report Share Posted June 29, 2000 I truly gave it much thought before sitting down to write this email. Let me note right now that I am copying this to the Diabetes International List. All of this goes back to a comment I made about the menu at our son's graduation dinner and the comments he made about his patients not being careful about what they ate. My first reaction to your email is that it was spam resulting from your having gotten my email address from the list. That is still my reaction. If my impression is wrong, you are free to correct me, but my impression at this point is that: a) you are not diabetic you may well be on this list only to promote the products you distribute I went to http://www.gourdin.com and was not impressed. As with so many products that are promoted to diabetics, I can't help but feel that if this product were the miracle it is proclaimed to be, we would already know about it. Since you joined the mailing list, have you posted and taken part in the discussions? How many others on the list have you emailed?

Guest guest Posted June 29, 2000 Report Share Posted June 29, 2000 Thanks, Vicki. I checked the messages database, and he or she has never posted to the group either.
