This discussion was closed by TuDiabetes Administration because its content has largely deviated from the topic (Obesity and Type 2 Diabetes) and become about who has the best credentials, who said what about whom, and how.
TuDiabetes is a place for people touched by diabetes to connect with one another and discuss substantive issues. Members speaking their minds on the issues are welcome; personal disputes are not. Quoting from Our Values:
We value diverse points of view. All people touched by diabetes are welcome. You may find opinions and positions that are not similar to yours and it’s OK to disagree. It’s just not OK to do so in a disrespectful manner. If you are unsure about whether something may be disrespectful to others, try to put yourself in the shoes of the other person and consider how you would feel if you were on the receiving end of the comments/contribution you are making.
For now, the discussion will stay closed to provide a cooling-off period. It may be reopened in the near future, when hopefully it will return to a topical discussion sans the disputes.
