Dozens from around the DOC responded happening various social media platforms, including bloggers Melinda Source at Twice Diabetes and Allison Caggla at Diabetes Daily who touched on the venerate-mongering, stigma-creating scare maneuver of this alarming picture. We concur and hate this rather carb-shaming.
