  • Grade 5 or 6, teacher was introducing a project about the wisdom inherent in proverbs (not biblical, traditional sayings). In discussion I opined there was no wisdom in contradictions like “look before you leap” versus “he who hesitates is lost” and “many hands make light work” versus “too many cooks spoil the broth”, the wisdom was knowing which proverb applies to the situation at hand. Sent to the principal and received a beating with a paddle for being a disruptive smart aleck.




  • T2 is not just a lifestyle related illness.

    Some people are genetically predisposed and get T2 no matter what lifestyle changes they make.

    Some people have a damaged pancreas and develop T2 no matter what lifestyle changes they make.

    Some people with disabilities can’t really change their lifestyle.

    The lifestyle change first regimen without medication would kill many.

    I understand for many, if not most, the lifestyle change is all that is needed, I even advocate lifestyle changes in another comment. I spent 5 years on an organization committee for the ADA’s tour de cure and have given presentations on the ADA’s Choose your plate, nutrition for life. You don’t need to convince me lifestyle changes are important.

    I also know many people that developed T2 in spite of a healthy lifestyle. I know people that would be dead if not for their medications because T2 is not just a lifestyle related illness.

    Again T2 is not just a lifestyle related illness.
