[QUOTE="TorqPenderloin, post: 1098692, member: 211504"] I know the ignorance is annoying but don't be "That guy" and send everyone a link about diabetes. I doubt that will be received in the way you hope it will be. The problem is, that can make you seem like you're bitter and looking for attention. I'm not saying that you are, but that's how it can be perceived. I try to subtly educate people in these situations, but I'm always pleasant and optimistic about it. I will tell people that I CHOOSE not to have sugar because my diet doesn't allow for it and I don't want to get fat, but I make it clear that it's not because of my diabetes. [/QUOTE]
