[QUOTE="luceeloo, post: 1526044, member: 78468"] From someone who is coming out of the other side of a major burn out - It gets us like that. The thing about our disease is that we are constantly told by various sources that "Type 2 diabetes is reversible"... and every person spouting that has their own way of preaching how to cure us. We have negativity shoved down our throats by the media, who with every mention of the words "type 2 diabetes" must immediately provide an accompanying photograph of the mid-section of a badly dressed fat person. We are card carrying members of a club where every Tom, **** or Harry feels the right to have an opinion because they "read something in the Daily Mail once". Do Asthmatics get judged by society? Do epileptics? Nope, just us Type 2's. You have to learn quickly to gloss over it, otherwise it really gets to you. As Diabetics there are two options. Diabetes can own us, can kick our ar$e, and can eventually kill us. Or, we can find our own ways of dealing with it, own it, and kick it into touch instead. The way that you deal with your diabetes is entirely your business... so take bits from what you read, or what people have to say on here,etc, and make your own plan. Forget about the variables, the ketones, what does and what doesn't work for others. This is about you, and at the end of the day, your job is to keep your blood sugars reasonable... how you do that is entirely up to you. [/QUOTE]
