[QUOTE="Jem, post: 39607, member: 11146"] Hiya Doc, take a deep breath and nod your head - saying oooh and aaaaah alot ... then go along your own way and when you have great control, fewer health problems, have lost (any) excess weight, feel fit and strong and energetic and warded off the complications you can tell them exactly what you did. YOU know what makes sense and although it's hard to deal with the misonceptions some people have, especially those with ingrained ideas about diabetics should and shouldn't eat (my nhs advise when I was pregnany had me pushing in excess of 100 units of humalog per meal and that advice I now consider to be frankly murderous) so although you might want to really get into helping people and offering advice and letting them know how wonderful this all is, half the time you might wanna bite your lip a bit ... it will save you a lot of stress, which as we all know, can cause high blood sugar! All the best, keep doing wha you're doing and when somebody wants to "help" just let them know you're doing your thing and very happy thank you. See you in the old folks home in many decades :) J/xxx [/QUOTE]
