This is just a moan.
Well, we did the Xmas visiting today.
Running a bit late, so my relatives had decided to go to the pub for lunch, and phoned us to say they were eating, and the restaurant was closing shortly. My wife answered the mobile as I'm driving. Now obviously she knows I'm T2, but once again, it appears to has totally gone over her head. (Completely unsupportive normally to be fair). So she asks me, (low cal, good carbs diet), "they're ordering, do you want them to get you fish and chips, or a steak and ale pie, or a Xmas dinner?"
I have to be honest, I stopped the car, and got out. If she doesn't know I haven't eaten that type of food for two years, I give up.
She honestly had no idea what to tell them to order for me. Her excuse, "I didn't have the menu"
Like I had it then?
She really , really, couldn't tell them what I could/would eat? After two years?
Anyway, we got there too late to order, so we missed lunch.
Talking about type 2, and complications, and future problems from high bs.
But it's obviously me being "awkward" as I hear the conversation later.
Relative - "I know someone, diagnosed type 2 at 60, that was 20 years ago, and he's not on insulin"
My wife nodding away.
So I get home, I've eaten nothing for about 12 hours, checked my bs, 3.2.
Meatballs for tea, and a mince pie, massive overshoot to 15, (within the 2 hours) but back down to 6 now.
Normally I'm ok, maybe it was the lack of food for such a long time, as I normally eat little and often.
