[QUOTE="Katie Pod, post: 1753632"] Karenchq, I understand exactly how you feel. I am a Podiatrist and I'm fed up with some ignorant people telling me that "training for 3 years at University is a long time just to cut toe nails". !! You could use this as an educational opportunity. Next time you see here just mention that, last time you met, you noticed she had some incorrect ideas about Diabetes and would she like to learn more? She may say "No" or claim she knows all about Diabetes, in which case just take the attitude that 'You can't fix stupid' and leave her in ignorance. If she says "Yes" then you have an opportunity to tell her , briefly, what living with Diabetes is like. [/QUOTE]
