[QUOTE="Tophat1900, post: 2248272, member: 362123"] I used to do similar things diabetes related and felt uncomfortable because I just wanted to be accepted as normal like everyone else, but it got to the point where I simply just stopped worrying what others think (Regardless of who they are). If they want to watch me check my bg level then fine, go ahead and watch, but you don't have. They have a choice. It did take time to get to this point. Normal for me, is now doing what I have to do to keep healthy. If people think it's sad I can't eat what they eat, then they are mistaken. I have no desire to eat what is typically eaten by a lot of people. [USER=496333]@Jim Lahey[/USER] touched on the diet aspect rather well. It's not like I can't do things that others do, I just require a bit of monitoring to make sure things are stable. Like I said, it took some time to make progress, but it's worth it to get to where you want to be. It sounds like you are making some progress and facing up to the obstacles along the way. Just take it all one day at a time. [/QUOTE]
