I happened upon it too, but I obviously didn't watch as long as you did, because I didn't know about all of this. I couldn't take it anymore because of her whining. She couldn't get into the kitchen so she sat in the living room and whined about how her friend was taking the brownies and cheesecake to the people in the kitchen first. "Bring it to me." Oh my gosh, I kind of yelled at the screen. I'm glad that she's getting help and will get better control IF she follows everyone's advice, but like you said, there are a lot more people who could use that help also. I have step cousins like her and it drives me crazy when I'm around them (luckily they live out of town). They're diabetic but it was okay to have those three desserts, because they were smaller pieces - MY BACKSIDE! (Of course you all know what word I wanted to use there - more impact. ) They were full sized pieces. And then they ask everyone to bring things to them. I can't take watching victims play their little games. The mother has had diabetes for 20+ years and she told my mom when I was diagnosed that I was T1 because that's the only kind there is and the doctors were wrong, I need to be on insulin. By the way, she has had amputations, her husband had amputations (he died from diabetes complications [heart]) and their daughter just keeps getting bigger and bigger (probably close to 500 pounds). The sad part - they are all extremely well educated and yet they don't educate themselves about their health.
Needless to say...I will not be watching that program!
