[QUOTE="KK123, post: 1801697, member: 451727"] Hi MissMJ, I do feel for you, it is so hard when others keep on fussing when you simply wish to get on with it yourself without it constantly being the centre of attention. Next time when your Mum offers you a doughnut, ask her if she would offer nuts to a person with a nut allergy! A doughnut may not kill you outright but your body cannot cope with the carbs and you may not want to have to faff about with a dose of insulin to accommodate it. Maybe you could buy your Mum a book that explains it all? I am sure they care about you but if they carry on like this you will end up purposely staying away from them. After 8 years your parents should know better, you have to manage your diabetes YOUR way and that means eating when YOU want to. Sorry I have no real advice but I can tell you that the vast majority of us feel your pain, (mostly from 'well meaning; work colleagues in my case). x [/QUOTE]
