[QUOTE="-Artemis-, post: 862643, member: 89325"] ... Clearly it's not just me...!! :D --- I've had all the above too I think; one friend is a nutritionist and asks me *everytime* I see her; 'tell me why they think you're type 1 again...?" -- and I say 'because my GAD antibodies, which is meant to be below 5, came back at 1,800 higher than my doctor had ever seen -- that's what makes it autoimmune' -- and she without fail goes on to say something along the lines of 'but you did like sweets though didn't you'... She may as well just say she thinks I'm type 2 and be done with it!! ... Quite seriously though I do find myself removing myself from social situations because I'm becoming so sensitive to the continued 'you just haven't tried hard enough to "beat this"' comments... :-/ [/QUOTE]
