Luckily not by my family as we're FULL of diabetics, and have learned that we all react differently to different foods. But I have had friends nag or question me, and I just properly educate them and that usually shuts them up real quick! LOL It is somewhat annoying and sometimes pisses me off, moreso the when they talk about how "they" remember or "they" are on this low carb diet or that one .... In those cases, I let them know that I'm not counting carbs because I WANT to for weight loss reasons, I do it because I HAVE to, my LIFE/HEALTH depends upon it!! Usually shuts them up real quick, yet again! LOL If they have more questions (some have/do) I'm more than willing to answer them and help them better understand! The more WE educate them (cuz you can't rely on the media and even the medical community sometimes), the better it will be all around!
