| I have a strong family history of diabetes and have a couple in my immediate family, one on insulin, one on a couple of oral meds, so the family knows quite a lot about diabetes. However, I get nagged quite a bit. My family thinks I worry about my diabetes too much. I'm told not to be so "anal" about what i'll eat...."you don't expect to live you entire life without ever having cake/cookies/bread (fill in whatever they are having at the time) again, do you? Or "I only test every few days, why are you checking your blood sugar so much?" Or "_________eats bread every day AND has ice cream, why can't you?"
I get really frustrated....and concerned, after all, they really are eating this stuff and I can't. Does this mean my diabetes is worse than theirs?..or is it just that i'm checking my levels and actually know what's going on?
Also, co-workers often say..."have just a bite...what will it hurt?" So yes, I get nagged, just not in the "traditional" sense of the word. |
