Mark, I agree.....it is awkwardly worded, but this quote is pretty clear:

"Some patients, if you judge by their behavior, would rather be well on the road to future blindness, kidney failure or amputations than work hard now at their diabetes," Philipson said.

I think the people on this site by virtue of even being here, really take their health and diabetes management seriously...but we all know folks who will have a donut and not think twice (or act like they don't anyway). I have an uncle who takes meds, but never checks his bg. It's absolutely mindboggling to me.
