[QUOTE="Ladybirdy75, post: 885305, member: 71000"] DN: let's see if we can get you to 55 The above has stuck with me for the past few years. It's wormed it's way into my brain and since my heart attack in March it rings around my head constantly. The DN and i actually get on great though, it's was probably a witty remark (i hope) The other best one (following a retinopathic bleed in my left eye): Doc: so you're a diabetic? Me: yes, type 1 on a pump Doc: you're really a diabetic?? Me: yes, I'm on insulin Doc: why are you diabetic? Me: (feeling irritated) it happened in early childhood, the insulin producing cells got wiped out by my own immune system. Doc: so why do you need a pump? Me: it's how i administer my insulin Doc: so why do you need insulin My teenage son: OH MY GOD, she's a type 1 diabetic, THE INSULIN KEEPS HER ALIVE!!! No joke !! [/QUOTE]
