Recently, I was discussing the fact that it has been years since I stepped into a Library with the Twitter folks. With the Internet, I can get so much information that was never available to me before. Plus, Google search is much easier to handle than the Dewey Decimal System – card catalog. The Internet has so much information and allows anyone with a computer to add to the mass of data, which leads me to my issue. The video below struck a cord and agitated me enough to write this post. I think the intention was good, but the information falls way short.
Please, if anyone knows how you can have negative blood glucose, let me know. Throw in a couple negative readings and that could just be the trick to lowering your A1c (joke – please do NOT try this at home). Back to the video. Really…You only start feeling tired when your blood glucose level is negative (1:09). Oh, and you just fall asleep when it goes too low. Hmm, sleep….coma, I guess they could be synonymous. Please do me and everyone else a favor and try talking to someone that actually has diabetes before your next video.
Sorry for the rant. The goal of this post is to make you aware that there is a lot of bad information mixed in with boat-loads of excellent resources and information. The other blog that I write for, Support Analytics, deals with Data Visualization (charts and graphs). So this video struck two nerves with me.
Good points Tony. I can’t watch the video until I get home (IT haters at work block a lot of stuff). But your point comes across just fine even without it.
You have to take anything you see/read/hear on the internet with a grain of salt.
