[QUOTE="Lally123, post: 1921706, member: 379571"] When people say to me oh you don't look like a diabetic! Don't know why that irritates me so much but it does. Worst is when the nurse at the surgery says it. Sometimes if I can be bothered I will challenge it and say what does a diabetic look like Then? The answer is either 'well not like you' or 'fat'. I just tell myself to be quiet and leave them to their ignorance! Anyone have any supersmart responses I can give next time. Just find it so annoying that people comment on my size in a way they would never dream of doing if I were fat. It seems ok to say to someone you're very thin, but taboo to say you're very fat! Funny old world. [/QUOTE]
