For some reason medical writers have to start every single article with a paragraph on the long term effects of diabetes.

How many times do they think we need to read "long term effects include blindness and amputations" ??

I am diabetic, I don't have memory problems and need to be reminded of that every time I look up a carb count or anything diabetes.

Just Google the simplest thing like "can a diabetic eat a banana" Half the articles start with that list of possible horrible long term effects.

I just quit online health research. Did me more harm then good.
