[QUOTE="TypeZero., post: 2279373, member: 525950"] It’s not really so much about my care but they act hostile thinking I’m exaggerating which is annoying me. My sister does cook for me but I don’t have specific dietary requirements apart from knowing the carbs. Everyone around me is so interventionist, you would know if you were me. I have some random aunties I never knew who call in to say I should eat cinnamon and yoghurt which will stabilise my BG apparently. It just frustrates me hearing people say such things and I really don’t care about if they understand my disease or not but it’s just the repetitive unsolicited advice they give as if they have any clue. And I give them the basic information they need to know yet they’re so clueless and still try to give me advice. It just makes me so angry hearing people like my mum and sister say “oh you were eating fast food often that’s why you have diabetes” despite me explaining the autoimmune nature of T1D and the most accepted scientific theory is a virus triggering it along with several other factors such as low vitamin D. Just to let you know, it’s not me who keeps talking about my diabetes and bragging about it. It’s the people around me who are always trying to give me advice and force me to eat their food— I’m sure you’d agree this is really annoying [/QUOTE]
