[QUOTE="Bic, post: 2279629, member: 215944"] Perhaps you may try asking THEM (whoever it is that is being dismissive) to make the calculations for you, just for once. First let them list all the items they will have to factor in, asking 'Aren't you forgetting X?' every time they happen to overlook some. Then, have them calculate how much insulin to use; where to inject; what, how much of any single thing and when to eat; what to do or not to do in the following couple of hours… in no more than a minute (twice as much as it would take to you). Of course you don't need to actually do what they suggest, for your own safety's sake. Just let them try their hands at the real job – a tiny part of it, that is. I tried it sometimes and it worked. Besides being rather amusing, I must confess. [/QUOTE]
