Times Online Medical Myths

OK... There is one about diabitcs...

Top Medical Myths

"DIABETICS CRAVE SUGAR

How wrong is this? Fairly. Diabetics do have to alter their sugar intake and they sometimes require an urgent sugar fix if their blood glucose is too low. So concluding that craving sugar equals diabetes is understandable but wrong.

What are the facts? Diabetes isn't caused by excess sugar, it's simply that the diabetic body has problems handling it.

Any related myths? That diabetics need to buy special, low-sugar versions of food and drink. They don't - a simple healthy diet will suffice. "


The last paragraph pissed me off. If it was that simple I'd get a gold star, but there's that thing called insulin. You know that thing a lot of us have to take 4 times a day. Guess his facts missed that one.
