[QUOTE="Celsus, post: 1730559, member: 185674"] I gave you a 'Funny' award, just as "the Martian" also won an Oscar as a comedy movie! Not because I found your comment 'silly funny' but actually I found it 'serious funny'! :) (As was the movie the Martian, as it was both a funny and a serious good movie) I am like you pretty determined to take care of my own problems/disease thank you very much. I don't want other people's pity. And I don't want their overly-nursery attitude or help either. Not either from close friends or family either. The story highlighted by the poster above is of course a nice and friendly 'happening' but not in the range of where I myself would reach out for help to 'cross the lawn by walking'. But at same time, we should not diminish what situation other fellow diabetics are going through and some are more troubled with unstable bg and what have you. Some are in a more fragile state than others. And some or more timid and others more outspoken in sharing their disease and challenges with their social network. All I know for sure, and I am very confident in that, all my friends and family are all aware of I have diabetes Type1 and all of them would jump in instantly if I say at any point of time that I would need their help to get some sugar asap. That is all I really need. I don't need (and I don't want!) the baby-nursing of me. Not yet for sure, but who knows what I need of care when I get very old and go back using Pampers Ultra-Dry etc... ;) [/QUOTE]
