[QUOTE="neels, post: 649286, member: 48514"] Got the usual ones ... 'You don't look like a diabetic!' <- it was a pharmacist who said that to me Back in the '80's when Orbit was about the only sugar free gum around (I think) - 'can you eat that?' (ummmm yes!) So how many injections do you have a day? ... my response: 4 - their response 'is your diabetes that bad?' (ummm no, I am in better control now!) 'So you have the worst type of diabetes?' 'My legs really hurt, can you do a blood test and see if I am diabetic?' (gee, in that case everyone must be diabetic at some point after a walk or run) Type 2 says to me, 'when I want eat some chocolate or sweets, I just take a couple of extra tablets afterwards' (metformin etc), 'can't you do the same?' [I]I have had some weird and funny ones in my life... sorry can't remember the good ones...[/I] [/QUOTE]
