[QUOTE="Robbity, post: 565009, member: 93179"] From my husband when I told him about my diagnosis as T2 and said I don't have to inject insulin: "Oh that's all right then!" And having been told by him I was on a low carb diet and didn't want to eat very sweet sugary fruit: "Do you want some dates?" From my diabetic nurse during my initial discussion on diet with her - I should dilute my glass of orange juice (which my doctor said I was to avoid completely), and that I should avoid sugary fruit, but it was perfectly OK to eat raisins! But my favourite family comment was to my sister in law by her very overweight daughter, when she told her I was a bit concerned that she might end up with diabetes like me if she didn't lose some weight: "But they checked me for diabetes when I was pregnant and told me I didn't have it"! From this thread the two that really tickled me are the diabetic cat comment and the one about not going to church being the cause. Robbity [/QUOTE]
