im diabetic and my sister is diabetic both type 2. Today we went shopping and my sister who i love very much bless her, made her way to the cake stand and proceeded to choose a cake for herself. I asked her why was she choosing a cake for her self and she replied because i want one, I reminded her that she was diabetic and a cake was not a good choice. I was really shocked by her response when she said to me that people are not fully diabetic unless they are on insulin. She said she read it somewhere on the internet. I asked her if she was a member of diabetes co.uk and she said she was, but she said she never reads more than the main headline page. I explained to her that she would find out more about diabetes if she also reads the forum messages. I told her that is where i have learnt all i know about diabetes from. I managed to convince my sister that she was diabetic even though she is only takeing tablets ( metformin ) for her diabetes, and not to buy the cake.
