[QUOTE="//Andreea\\, post: 1228197, member: 306433"] My husband: 1. Look at you, you're so thin... you can't be diabetic! 2. You aren't a diabetic anymore, since you don't inject insulin (being on my honeymoon period). 3. Your doctor said you should test your BGL 2 times a day. Why do you test it so often? 4. Stop reading stuff on the internet, you're too stressed with this! o_O My mother : I heard that X treatment/food/diet could treat diabetes. My mother-in-law: It was just a pregnancy thing. Your baby pushed on your pancreas and that's why you 'were' diabetic! Me: But I have anti GAD antibodies! Mother-in-law: You're off insulin now, aren't you? Me: Yes... Mother-in-law: See! :mad: A nurse (not DN): You should treat every disease with optimism, not with pills. Me: Including type 1 diabetes? The nurse: What was your fasting BGL and your HBA1C? Me: 4.3 and 5.6%. The nurse: How can you be diabetic?! You're not, trust me! I hate having to explain this condition to this kind of people. They all know better than me:banghead: [/QUOTE]
