Dr Emma Beckett added,
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
Will I post my lab results? My body is no ones business but my own. Jog on and shame on you for asking!
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
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
