[QUOTE="Pipp, post: 711740, member: 100904"] I have the same conversation with the senior phlebotomist at my local hospital every time I have a blood test. It goes something like this..... phlebotomist " sorry to keep you waiting, was just having a break, I have T2 diabetes, felt sleepy, so needed to have something sweet, a Mars bar". Me " ok, I have T2, but controlled by diet". Phleb: "hope you have some chocolate with you" Me: "No, don't eat it". Phleb: "but you should be able to if you have medication for T2, you can eat anything then". Me: "Not on medication". Phleb: "ask your GP for a prescription". You couldn't make it up! [/QUOTE]
