[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 707835, member: 41816"] Stick around. This forum will arm you with every argument you need to counter every one of their uninformed nonsense comments. I try, I REALLY try, not to shoot from the hip, but when I encounter levels of such ignorance, sometimes is can't help myself. I totally understand that non diabetics don't have the knowledge to comment intelligently. It's not their fault, poor things. Its just a pity they don't have the common sense to [B][I]keep their mouths shut. [/I][/B] My colleagues at work are being forcibly educated ;), because I keep them informed of my latest battles in the Carb War. [LIST] [*]They get offered squares of 70% choc, sometimes 85% (which they are told to suck, not chew to allow the natural sweetness to blossom). [*]They get to taste my green smoothies and bulletproof coffee (mixed reception, some cowardice, some enthusiasm) [*]They get my low carb biscuits (two are bakers, and I expect constructive criticism, and usually get it) [*]They get to yawn as I celebrate my fantastic blood sugar readings after a steak the size of a sombrero [*]They compliment me on my weight loss [*]They gasp in awe at my spooning mayo onto my lunch, and double cream on my berries [/LIST] But I find the saddest encounters are with fellow type 2s. :( The extent of their denial, ignorance and blind worship of orthodox 'eat carbs, take drugs, avoid fat and expect to be on insulin within 10 years' is heartbreaking.
