health- being that you are not a diabeteic, please stop telling us what to do! i know you probably mean well and i might be over sensitive about it and reading it the wrong way but your comments seem a bit harsh.. i have had diabetes since i was 11 years old (over 9 years..) and have always been 20 pounds over my “ideal weight range” as you put it, and have been in COMPLETE and TOTAL control the entire time. so unless you have diabetes yourself or are a specialist i would appreciate if you didn’t make generalizations regarding weight. again i am probably over reacting and i am SURE you only mean well. yes i do know i should weigh less but it is very hard for me to lose weight with my diabetes. i eat right, do not eat junk food and exercise but there are a lot of other factors as well and i have discussed it with my doctor. i understand your points but you can’t ever fully understand unless you are in the shoes (and i hope you or anyone else never is…) thank you and i’m sorry again if i over reacted!!
