....and a splinter in your finger.Not strictly a question but “ just leave sugar out of your tea. And ”Types 2 isn’t really serious like type 1.” Really winds me up. Also from GP’s it is related to Diabetes. Even a pain in the toe!!!
You need to learn to ignore people. Don't know why I didn't think of it before.Being told I'm "not a proper diabetic", because I don't inject insulin or take other medication!! when I say no to the roast potatoes, rice, pasta, cake etc.
Okay this wins it. Incredible.Why are you eating dextrose, don’t you want a low blood sugar level?
How come you told her you can't have carbs or sugar? You can eat anything you want toGoing to best friend's for lunch:-
Her: So what can you eat?
Me: No carbs or sugar - basically meat, fish, eggs, cheese, green veg, salad, berries
Her: So no potatoes?
Me: No.
Her: No bread?
Me: No
Her: Not even pasta or rice?
Me: No
Her: Ok, so I have some chicken in breadcrumbs, can you have that?
Me: NO!
Her: Oh ok. What about pudding, can you have Pavlova?

Or partial information. One place I go to thinks they’re being super thorough because theirs contains a breakdown of all the types of fat. But they only give sugar, not the carbohydrate value...Not a question, but restaurants that don't provide nutritional information about their menus irk me.
I agree that people aren't educated and wouldn't expect them to be but in that case I would also expect that they don't make stupid remarks about something they know nothing about. If someone had cancer or kidney disease, would those same people make off the cuff comments about their condition asking if they can do this and that?, I doubt it. For some reason diabetes is seen as a lazy and unworthy person's disease and it garners no sympathy or understanding whatsoever.
