[QUOTE="Eldorado, post: 1436477, member: 184281"] Let's have a grumble. I feel like a grumble. Don't you just hate it when people won't, or can't, take 'No, thanks' for an answer? I was at a coffee morning recently. I don't do this sort of thing much, for obvious reasons. There was coffee, which is good. I like coffee. There were also biscuits and cakes. I just bet type 1's can guess what happened next. The hostess knows I am diabetic. 'Sandra, are you allowed to have a piece of cake? It's home made. I won't, thanks. Bet it's delicious tho. Oh, can't you have just a small piece? I'm ok thanks. Just coffee will be great. Oh you poor thing. How about a biscuit then? No really, thanks I'm fine. (Sheesh!) A plain biscuit? I think I have some rich tea somewhere. No really. Don't go to any trouble. I'm fine. Honest. (Not that keen on stale rich tea bickies to be honest). I could fetch you some cheese. You can eat cheese can't you?' Etc etc. I get so, so tired of this. I know people mean well, I really do. And it's not just about the BG. I'm also thinking about the jeans that I can get into now. I really don't mind not scoffing cake and biscuits. I've got used to it. I really don't feel deprived. If I'm absobloodylutely desperate for something sweet occasionally I will have some. But in the normal course of events I really don't mind bring the only one in the room not eating the sodding cake! Grrrrrrrr. I feel better now. What about you all? [/QUOTE]
