[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 974013, member: 41816"] I had a surreal conversation with someone a couple of years back. He was absolutely indignant that Tescos didn't have diabetic icecream in stock. I should have known better, but the guy was standing next to me, ranting, at the freezers in Tescos, threatening to put in a complaint. So I thought 'why not save the poor staff some aggro, and make this guy's day' so I stepped in. I politely explained that if he looked at the carb content of the other icecreams, and picked the lowest possible - which would probably be the best quality one (Haagen Daas, or similar) - he would end up with one that was better for him than anything labelled 'Diabetic'. Silly me. He redirected his annoyance to me, the ignorant person who had no idea what a terrible life he led as a diabetic. I suppose he was right about one thing - I have no idea what how terrible[I][B] his[/B][/I] life is. All I know is that mine, as a type 2, is pretty d*mn good. [/QUOTE]
