Thought for the day.

The principle of the protection of human rights is derived from the concept of man as a person and his relationship with society which cannot be separated from universal human nature. Then, existence of human rights, does not depend on the will of a state, neither internally on its law or any other legislative measure, nor internationally on treaty or custom in which the express or tacit will of a state constitutes the essential element. A state or states are not capable of creating human rights by convention; they can only confirm the existence and give them protection. The role of the state is no more than declaratory.

Justice Tanaka, as a member of the International Court of Justice in the South West Africa cases in 1966.

The same applies to a diabetes forum. Think about that!

Go steady, this is getting a bit high brow.

Most of the low carb antis haven't worked out the damage carbs are doing to them.

I see they are still doing their best to wreck the forum, some people never learn.

What is needed is a bit of thought for the newly diagnosed, they are the people who really need help.
