I do not agree. Everyone should have an open mind, but unfortunately things can not always be happy-go-lucky, now can they ?

I dunno. The American Diabetes Association has always advocated "just change a little", which might work for people who NEVER change, but they also waste a lot of time in their magazine, Forecast, with stories about what to eat, and most of it is not very good, and is STILL way too high fat. It's like they and their audience are allergic to vegetables and fruits or something. I think they're way too focused on type 2 diabetics, which sort of s*cks, since I'm type 1. I cancelled my membership a LONG time ago. If you're type 1 you're far better off joining / contributing to the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation, or even better, joining DESA, the Diabetes Exercise and Sports Association.
I'm not an exercise freak, but even for type 1's, exercise helps a lot more than just trying to balance what you eat with insulin. If you're overweight, you almost certainly have insulin resistance and your blood sugars will probably vary widely no matter what you do.

I agree wholeheartedly with Don. Exercise is the key to good health for diabetics and non diabetics alike.
As to the ADA, I also tend to agree with the person who said the JDA was a more forward thinking organization. I think it does a better job of diabetes education.
Many new diabetics seem to have little clue as to the relationship between food, exercise, and hormones. Particularly new Type 2's.

Like in your previous question I stated that they make certain recommendations to help people live healthier lives. People do not NEED to eat potato chips, hot dogs, drink alcohol. If everyone would avoid these foods and get more exercise the occurrence of certain cancers, and obesity would almost be eliminated.
