- soaps on telly and people talking about the characters as if they were real.
I was at my brother-in-law's 60th birthday party, where I'd been told that a friend of his has just been diagnosed T2. I was chatting to a cousin about the activities of children and grandchildren, when I heard a voice saying very authoritively that it isn't good for people to test their own BG. I'm afraid I couldn't stand that, so I turned and asked her to please not say that, because It's a myth. She got VERY angry and told me in the same authoritative tone that she's been a nurse for years and she knows what is right and I must have been given bad advice. She was so stroppy and sure of herself that I didn't bother to tell her I've read and understood the original study.I just said that this myth is based on a very poor bit of research. The wife of the new T2 then cut in to say that she's given up ;looking for the answers, because there's so much information out there, that she's confused.
I avoided the nurse from then on.she kept giving me dirty looks.
