Guest, we'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the Diabetes Forum Survey 2025 »

Message: <blockquote data-quote="ElenaP" data-source="post: 2747571" data-attributes="member: 67557">I need to share my frustration.The recent TV programme with the "glucose goddess" on Channel 4, seemed to have made blood sugar experts of non-diabetic people!  Today I had lunch with nine other people.  Although none of the others were either Type1 or Type2 diabetics, two of them were wearing blood glucose monitors, and they told me how easy it is to keep blood glucose in range: "All you need to do is to have vegetables or salads before a meal".   I think it will be marvellous if advice in that program will prevent some people from becoming Type2 diabetics, but not so good if it gave the impression that all diabetes is the same.  I have learned previously that friends do not understand how difficult living with Type1 is, and how every illness or viral infection brings challenges. However, being told that being Type1 is easy makes me unhappy.</blockquote>
