Thank you everyone for your replies. I think I will try to distance myself from her and keep things on a less personal level. She doesn't understand the difference between prediabetes, and diabetes that is diet controlled. She frequently tries to give me biscuits or cake if we meet for a cup of tea saying one won't hurt. I clearly need to stick up for myself a little more and not allow her to trample on my feelings. I guess I'm feeling disappointed in her as we've known each other for 30 years. Thank you all for your concern and help - I'm so glad I posted this as I don't feel it's my fault any more now.
Maybe there are some tips in this youtube from Dr. Cywes the #CarbAddictionDoc for you? Think we could all do with some 'Arrogant Integrity' - after all I'm sure your friend wouldn't ply you with a drink if you're a recovering alcoholic, nor perhaps offer you a cigarette if you're trying to stop smoking.... giving up carbs is the same, carbs appear to be killing us! I'm all for Arrogant Integrity, I'm going to start practising it in my world! Dr Cywes explains...
