[QUOTE="qe5rt, post: 1225193, member: 234442"] Happened last week: A colleague of mine sees me taking insulin and starts talking about diabetes and how he knows someone who's has diabetes for almost two years. He goes on saying that if you're as low as 30mg/dl you'll go in coma, period. I said no, i've been as low as 30 and never been in a coma. He disagrees because someone that he knows told him that you will without a doubt go into a coma when you reach 30mg/dl. We went on a little bit but i hate these kind of discussions where arguments hold less value than hear say so i just replied with well i don't go into a coma because i'm a f'ing boss. It ended the discussion. Diabetes get's enough bad press from everywhere so i was kinda annoyed that someone that actually has diabetes aided in the further stigmatizing of it. [/QUOTE]
