I have cut back on my news attentiveness because I don't want to have my sense of fear artificially raised all the time. Same deal here. I'm working really hard to manage my diabetes so I can live a long, healthy, happy life. I guess I am trying to prevent turning that heart attack corner, but that's not Auntly Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13271658451098055528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3773372806308930207.post-5367982485205421982010-04-13T17:27:51.357-04:002010-04-13T17:27:51.357-04:00Totally agree.

Yeah, it's true, but it's not very helpful. Even if they want to get your attention with something dramatic like that, there should be an indication that they're offering a solution, and a solution that's NOT scary. As it is, it makes you feel like Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09366934862607331781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3773372806308930207.post-87137243685297560222010-04-13T14:00:41.552-04:002010-04-13T14:00:41.552-04:00I don't like scare tactics either.

I had the most scary things happen to my father right before my eyes and those things I put in the very back of my mind, to NOT remember that they can happen to me. Yes we need to know what "can" happen but to use it as a tool to scare people or force people to take care of themselves, no it's not the best idea in my opinion.

That is why I've been glad to help with the American Heart Association's Heart of Diabetes campaign.<br /><br />One of our local TV stations does a health fair every year with basic bloodwork for a small fee. This year's theme is PERFECT. "Own Your Health". That is much more positive.Rachelhttp://talesofmy30s.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3773372806308930207.post-21242288777151823222010-04-13T13:10:07.355-04:002010-04-13T13:10:07.355-04:00Yeah, that sign royally pisses me off.

Are they even considering how someone who has had diabetes a while and is knowledgeable and in good health might feel? Like nothing they do matters? Like no matter how well they care of themselves, tragedy is still right around the corner because they are still diabetic.<br /><br />Pure Laynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14691790495158501781noreply@blogger.com
