[QUOTE="Ixarix, post: 1592894, member: 439065" Since she was diabetic herself I think she thought she was being helpful, and that I'd welcome her unsolicited advice. Her advice may have been true, but her message completely gutted me. It made me feel angry, upset, and guilty right when I was starting to feel better about things. I felt like she was usurping the roll of my dietitian before I ever had a chance to meet with her to discuss my diet.
I messaged my friend back and thanked her for her concern, but that I really could have done without her message and that I'd be getting my dietary advice from my dietitian and the rest of my health care team. I then removed her from my friends list, and permanently block her on Facebook. I sort regretted doing it, that I wasn't rolling with the punches. But I don't have time in my life anymore for people who are just going to knock me down. Now, like you when I get a decent BG reading I say a silent curse to my advisor, and that I'll be okay without their concern.[/QUOTE]
It's a shame you felt you had to blank the 'friend' as she was just trying to help as she thought best, and you really can't question her motivation as it was intended to be supportive. I can though understand your ire at the unsolicited advice at a time you were feeling particularly sensitive.
I've had all sorts of advice and much of it contradictary and it was mainly that I should eat more carbs to put on weight (I'm a thin type2). But I appreciate the suggestions were well meaning and made out of interest for my health, so I just say 'Thanks' and continue to go my own and possibly better educated way.
