| Yeah, it seems that if there is anything to do with learning they will shy away from it... yet I thrive to learn more. I am one of those people who live to learn. I ask questions and I figure out ways to get them answered. My one friend has a disease I didn't know about, so I asked him questions about it to understand it better, and he asked me questions to understand diabetes. But most of my peers and teachers are ignorant of it. They say; "Oh, my [insert family member here] has diabetes... I'm an expert."
Well, today at lunch, I had a low Blood Glucose and one of my "friends" asked if I needed a shot, I was flabbergasted. She was one of the ones who claimed to be an expert. I calmly explained the shot would lower my sugar even farther and sent me into a coma, which would NOT end well. She tried to argue that her grandmother takes insulin shots when her sugar drops.
At this point, I thought to myself that I needed to start seeking out more knowledgeble people on the topic of diabetes... people I could talk to. Or at the very least more mature individuals like I've been thinking about doing for some time now. |
