Are we scared of Diabetes per se or ...?

Badrirag, I’m not following your logic. It is not an “opinion” that type 2 diabetes is a condition where the blood glucose levels are higher than normal. That’s a fact (if not treated, of course). In any case of diabetes (no matter what type) there is either an insulin resistance or an insulin deficiency, causing elevated glucose levels.

And then you state that there are other chemicals within the body like sodium, calcium, and potassium, which are not noticed until they are at critically low or high levels. Glucose is the same way. If it is within normal range it is not noticed. If there is too little, or in the case of most untreated diabetes, if there is too much, then symptoms present. So to me all of those levels are important. And any of those items being outside of the normal range would cause angst for me. I guess I just don’t follow what point you’re trying to make by referencing other items within the body that also should have a normal operating range and which do cause concern any time they are out of range in the same manner that glucose levels do.
