[QUOTE="LittleGreyCat, post: 1623871, member: 6467"] Reminds me of the recent AGM of Health Watch I attended. At the end the Chairman praised one of his team members for making cakes for everyone and urged us all to have one to show appreciation. I made a point of declining because I am sensitive to the whole cake issue, from TV adverts like the MacMillan Coffee Morning which features a load of "robustly built" people having a wonderful time eating lots of cake. Apart from the increased cancer risk of too much weight and too much sugar, this isn't supportive of T2 diabetics. Grumble. Anyway I shook my head, and when asked I told the genial old buffer that I was diabetic. The response was "Surely you can just take a bit more insulin". I pointed out that I was T2 and not on insulin,and he bumbled on "I know about insulin, I have a friend who is diabetic and if she eats sweet things she just injects a bit more". I gave up. I did wonder what someone with so little knowledge was doing chairing a local health organisation. Turned out he was a Doctor. Words fail me. [/QUOTE]
