    You know, for a guy who talks alot, you really don't say much do you. I mean at any point you could have just made your counter argument and backed it up with some factual reference.. but I notice you didn't

    Excuse me? Exactly what in the world are you taking about? And where was this quote from? Have you heard the statement - that which is asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence? If you had actually read this thread then you would have noticed the poster whom I was replying to supported none of her baseless assertions with science, I pressed her for evidence, she followed up with more baseless assertions. Therefore, no need for me to to supply references.

    Yeah there is even a word for that. Your just "trolling". Saying alot, but nothing to say. No point to make just want to argue. Good job. you win a whole internet.

    Again, what are you taking about? Did you even read this thread? If you did then maybe your are having some reading comprehension issues. I'll repeat again, please try and follow along:

    Someone made some baseless assertions.

    I asked for evidence for those assertions.

    None were offered.

    Therefore I don't need to post evidence to the contrary.

    How in the world is this considered trolling?

    Also you quoted me as saying this:

    What's all this pre business? Can't people just have plain old diabetes anymore? Pre menopause, pre cancerous, pre menstrual, pre Scarlet Fever - yeah, you don't have it yet but be scared. Be ever frightened.

    Agree - there is no such thing. It is a risk management measure.

    Honestly, I just wish I had paid a bit more attention when I was pre-diabetic. The thing is, if you are told you might get bone cancer, there's nothing you can do about it. But if you are told you are heading for DT2, You can make some changes and head it off at the pass.

    What Fyreside said. I would give any amount of money to have had any of my useless doctors tell me I needed to make changes while there was still a chance it would keep me from having diabetes. Instead they failed to even mention abnormal numbers. One even said "Your glucose is high but don't worry about it."

    So, I got a 4/10, though I do have prediabetes.
