Eating is a disease.





Everything was default today The only difference was I was tired and we stayed together in her room. Nothing was  going on on the third floor anyway.  

The habit of eating is worse than the habit of heron.  Some doctors say it easier to cure cancer.  I can believe that.  A woman at my table has an eating disease.  She can not stop eating even though she has been told she will die because of it.  She can do nothing about it.  She takes over 10 pills a day for her foot pain.  Caused by high b/g.  She was sick for 3 days and when she came back she had been to the doctor and about all he did was increase the size of the patch.  I had given her the book by Bernstein which would have explained how she could control her diabetes.  She read one chapter then quit.  She is the one I told you about who cried like a baby when her plate did  not have big enough portions for her.  For this kind of person eating is a disease.  She said her doctor said  her diabetes is under control.  Of course she does not know what control is anyway.  I have never heard of a doctor telling the patient they must control their eating or they are going to die.  They just keep them coming back taking their fees.  It would seem ethical to me to tell the patient they must control their eating.  Or they must go somewhere else for treatment.  Because unless they do they can do nothing for them.  Do doctors ever do that?  This place is full of people mostly like her.  They keep eating, getting bigger and bigger. Getting worse and worse.  One of them a couple days ago had a congestive heart failure.   B/G readings or 200, 300, 400.  When it goes over 300 some are shocked but have no idea what to do about it.  It's sad.
