Someone I haven't seen since before the first covid lockdown will be visiting the area and asked if she could come to see me. "I'll bring some cakes".

If only it were that simple!!ignore the cakes.
I know a lot about my diabetes as I live with it every day.... but most around me don't have a clue even though they have been told.. and some can only just remember their own name from day to day..Someone I haven't seen since before the first covid lockdown will be visiting the area and asked if she could come to see me.

Bald? Is that a condition? I’m changing my list to include occasional hiccupsIf I didn't tell everyone constantly, they would never imagine how my diet works, what I can eat or don't want to eat, they don't bring me treats, they ignore my pleas for fresh food, when I eat or don't eat when my big family has parties. Or when I used to travel away in a hotel or restaurant!
but the worst is, my wonderful other half when she forgets and asks, if I want a butty or some nice spuds to have with my meat or do I fancy this or you used to love them! Or forgets that I fast everyday!
My son's offer breakfast or brunch!
As long as I remember, and not tempted or persuaded to have a bite of something I would call baddies!
And I do, believe it or not, I bore my former colleagues, friends, neighbours and of course family with my constant health issues!
And if I didn't tell you of my experience, you probably wouldn't be aware of RH, and my other conditions that have interfered with my life.
So, of course you will remember this!
My conditions..........
Late Reactive Hypoglycaemia
Lactose intolerance
Hypertension
Essential Tremor disorder
Restless legs syndrome
Burning Itching
Anxiety
Depression
Arthritis
Bad back
Shin splints
Varicose veins
Bald
Slightly overweight
Aversion to cooked vegetables
And I am very healthy according to my last full blood panel tests!
So don't forget to remember all this and don't be surprised if they ask a question or two!
Regards

Your question is why don't they get it. I suppose the simple answer is they do not live with it themselves, and do not understand it. My doctor had a chart on her office wall showing that famous plate of food for diabetics, with one third carbs. Friends not knowing or remembering is one thing, but the doctor? I have two daughters, one with her own dietary requirements because of a (non diabetic) condition. She remembers my diet. The other one still buys me sweets at times.Someone I haven't seen since before the first covid lockdown will be visiting the area and asked if she could come to see me. "I'll bring some cakes".
