Well, that was helpful. Not!I got a horror story classic on Thursday: a colleague (young man), who had been diagnosed with pre-diabetes, travelled abroad with work, drank lots of orange juice, fell seriously ill, failed to get treatment, and died.
I haven't drunk juice for at least a couple of years :-/ (since way before diagnosis). It's probably a good thing to avoid if you want to hit your blood glucose on the head.
Hi and welcome. Most people here won't tell you horror stories. Best ignore any who do.I expect as time goes on I will get used to people commenting. I agree it is best to tell as few people as possible.
I am finding it hard when people say 'Should you be eating that ? I have worked really hard to lose some weight and have quite a sensible diet on the whole. I do get it wrong sometimes of course. My favourite bowl of porridge for breakfast will have to go.

Oh and do hit the ignore button if anyone gets too silly. Or report if they are offensive.
Mine would be "Naw! It's just that I dont rely on the rythm method"I've had a couple of people say Oh you're diabetic are you, Is that why you never had children? Only my self restraint stopped me from saying get lost!
Think my reply would be no never had kids in case they turned out like youI've had a couple of people say Oh you're diabetic are you, Is that why you never had children? Only my self restraint stopped me from saying get lost!
Hehe, I know what you mean. Just what she needs in a thread about horror stories freaking her out.
Still I think CheeseJunkie's post does illustrate something relevant. No need to get freaked out by horror stories, but do take them as an opportunity to learn something not to do (assuming a true story as opposed to the "urban legend" of course). To be honest I wish someone had warned me about orange juice (and fruit juices in general) as they were a huge problem for me early on. I used to drink a whole **** load of "healthy" unsweetened fruit juices until I figured out just how high they spiked me.
Thanks, my reference to report and ignore buttons were for someone else who had posted idiotic out of context posts that have now been removed.Hehe, I know what you mean. Just what she needs in a thread about horror stories freaking her out.
