      Don't worry we know where she will end up. She already carriers her lovely metabolic syndrome around quite happily and very proudly, don't worry the PBS will provide Metformin, blood pressure medication etc near free pic.twitter.com/hz50nQdE4s

      you will prove them wrong by posting your lab results? Trigs, HDL, fasting insulin? Being large doesn't prove u are IR but it can be a good indicator. Just b/c they are a bunch of jerks doesn't mean they R wrong. Once had a doc tell me I was a carb addict. was 😠but he was right

      You know that if you you have 3 of these signs you may have metsyn: - a large waist - ⬆️trig level - ⬇️ HDL - ⬆️ bp - ⬆️fasting BGC @3104Au was rude and made assumptions based on your size, which was unwarranted. Size doesn't indicate health. But it is 1 sign of metsyn 1/3

      Replying to @AlastairMcA30 @synapse101 @3104Au

      As long as we have to pay taxes to support a national health service which massively purchases drugs and employs doctors, nurses to treat symptoms of avoidable disease, it is.

      By the same logic it could be argued that, since you appear more elderly than Dr. Beckett, you should cheerfully take your own life to save our taxes (or at least, the put-upon tax payers of Denmark)

          Of course, we could also argue that, since commenting on another person's health as anyone other than their doctor is the height of ignorance and arrogance, it's worth reconsidering your position and apologizing immediately
