Yes, it is time for thanking my readers
from many countries. I admit I was giving some serious thought to
stopping my blog, but when the emails starting really coming in at
almost 20 per day, I began to realize that I needed to keep publishing
my blog. Many of the emails had some serious questions, but not
being a doctor, on many of them I could only suggest talking to their
own doctor and giving them a few suggestions of questions to ask.
There were several emails agreeing with
what a blog said and I appreciate that. That is always good to know.
A few thought I could have added something and a few others felt I
was missing a point. Finally, a few felt that the study I used was
worthless and poor science, which a few were and I had stated this on
a few of them.
A few readers were apologizing for
their English. I have told all of them that if I can understand what
they were saying or asking, that was the important issue and I could
care less about their halting English or even some of the spelling.
A few readers were asking how I could
put up with some of the criticism that I might be receiving and still
post a daily blog. I am always happy to explain to these people that
I have a thick skin and criticism doesn't bother me if I can learn
from it.
A few other emails asked how I handled
some of the comments that must be about cures and explaining that
doctors are hiding this from people with diabetes. I explain to them
that I have set up comment moderating and before a comment is
published, I try to check the comment for hidden links and even other
obvious links to articles and websites for propaganda about supposed
cures (which as of today there is no cure for type 1 or type 2 or any
other form of diabetes). Occasionally, some links are so well
disguised that I publish them - and once published, the link shows up
and I then delete the comment.
Yes, there are a few legitimate ways of
putting type 2 diabetes into remission, but many of those promoted
are nothing more than a way to sucker people out of their hard earned
money. The people with good ways to put type 2 diabetes into
remission generally are not charging people money for this, but are
publishing them for people to use if they are able. These
suggestions I can appreciate, but when a writer refers you to a site
that charges for their solution, then red flags go up and I seldom
follow this any further as I know it is a scam.
I won't name all the countries that
show up in the analytics, but when I say they are around the world,
this is what the statistics show.
I feel recharged with the interaction
from some of my readers and this is what keeps me writing. The blogs
on bariatric surgery was the result of several emails about this and
these in turn generated many new emails.
Again, thanks for reading my blog.
