[QUOTE="Lamont D, post: 864361, member: 85785"] I've tried so hard to not say anything here. I have RH, and I am so lucky not to have T1,T2, 1.5, Lada etc. I am also blessed not to have diabetes, unlike my brother, who died 7 years ago of heart failure. My uncle had it, the wife has it, the father in law has it, and yes I do know what it is like to be treated by friends, colleagues, acquaintances, enemies, doctors, dsn's, specialists(!!!). Who thought because I had been diagnosed with diabetes, that I should be doing this, that and the other! Since diagnosis, I get, so you are diabetic! You need insulin! You need to eat properly! What, meat and salad only? What happens if you are ill? My god, never heard of it! What drugs are you on to treat it? What drugs do you need to eat properly? Go on, have a pint! So no spuds? What do you have to eat in a restaurant? The chippie is out then! If you have an Indian, what do you eat? I was having a hypo in hospital and the senior diabetic sister made me have a bottle of lucozade! Why do you need a necklace, that says that? Need I go on. As a Reactive Hypoglycaemiac, I thank whoever, that I don't have diabetes! But, In my diet, I can't bolus for carbs, I can't use insulin for the day! (I apologise for probably getting it wrong!) That's how difficult and different we all are! I have no choice but to eat seven small meals a day, very, very low carb, because if I don't, well I've been there once, and I'm not going back. Someone who posts, has a signature that goes something like this. Be thankful for what you have, it can get worse! [/QUOTE]
