Respect, Engineer. I am sorry about my high-handed post on this subject. Must remember to engage brain beforehand.I dont understand why you wouldnt tell them? Being diabetic is a huge part of you and something I've personally never hidden away (couldnt and wouldnt). Wouldnt it be better to say thanks for the cake, do you mind if I have it later? I cant really snack between meals as im diabetic. > this could easily lead to a converstaion where you could educate your friend about diabeties and become closer friends afterwards.
I wonder why that is... Do some people think it is a psychosymatic disorder...?what good idea i have the same prob soon as u say ur diabetic everyone becomes an expert lol x
someone at work's husband is type 2, she insists on telling me I can eat things which I decline ... like chocolate. ...
He probably can...if he is taking more drugs/insulin to compensate. I was in hospital for a heart procedure a year ago and the woman in the bed next to me ate a box of chocolates. a pack of chocolate digestives and 2 big packs of crisps in one afternoon-evening. She was really pleased with herself because her blood sugars were lower than mine, yet she had lots of medication for it...I am diet controlled. I am not criticising people who need the tablets, I realise drugs are necessary for many type 2's, but to eat so much junk and then up the dose to cover it is madness.
My aunt does this and I could never understand it. If I have to go onto insulin so be it but at least I will know that i have done everything in my power not to go down that route!He probably can...if he is taking more drugs/insulin to compensate.
