Using the term "inability to process carbs and sugar" is misleading and totally not the same thing as insulin resistance.

Its generally assumed that processing carbs is the act of digestion. You're using the word processed in the wrong situation here.

EDIT: Also you can still process carbs, you just can't utilize glucose in the blood as a diabetic.

Okay, so if I replace "process" with "utilise" we are good?
Yeah I'm with you on this. If someone assumes by one word you mean another word, and by using the other word, you're wrong, well, I think their logic is flawed.
I guess, sorry if I am coming across as touchy. I'm a diabetic and there is a ton of misinformation out there about it!
It's nice to see amicable resolutions online.
