[QUOTE="vicky_l, post: 365008, member: 64186"] hi titchy ok firstly I have only read your first post not the whole thread please please do not give into pressure I have been diabetic for 14 months now and only in these past few weeks since I joined two forums online did I get the damage I was doing to my body having just some of the foods that we are meant to avoid I think issue is 1. ignorance of the real damage it does and taking a little more insulin isnt the way to treat your body 2. culturally I dont think we are taught to look after our bodies at all and then wonder why they break down like diabetes so wonder if A she is ignorant of the big issues you can face being a diabetic and you can be her teacher if she is willing to learn and B wonder if she needs (like I suspect a lot of people) about how important it is to value ourselves and our bodies not dump junk in it (wonder if people not with diabetes ever wonder what eating chocolate really does to their bodies inside and other things we consume almost absentmindedly) Make the right decision for you Hope she is willing to learn and she embraces this new knowledge and you still get to be her bridesmaid :) Vicky_l [/QUOTE]
