[QUOTE="clareb1970, post: 1438685, member: 168117"] I have had similar experiences throughout my life. When I was age 15 at school, I did a talk on diabetes to my class as part of an English assignment. The whole class was really interested apart from one student who interrupted my talk by telling me I was incorrect. She said there are two types of diabetic, one who cannot eat anything sweet and the other type who have to eat lots of sweet food! I tried to explain that this was part of the same condition as diabetes was all about balance, but sometimes BG could go up or drop too low. She still told me I was wrong, despite me telling her that I had been a diabetic for 3 years at that point and had experienced both high and low BG. I gave up in the end.... [/QUOTE]
