What ticks me off is people who know "someone else" who has diabetes and they care to know more about that person's diabetes than yours and they try to apply how the other person manages their diabetes to how you should manage yours. Further, they apply the problems the other person has to the problems you are are "supposedly" going to have.

My GF's mom who is a T2 and eats all the time, coughs all the time and gets sick easily. As a result My GF says things when I skip a meal like "I thought you had to eat every 2 hours" even though I told her 1000 times that's not the case. Or when I get a cold she says "oh, you're just like my mom. You're going to be coughing all the time now" People just need to realize that people manage their diabetes differently and it's harder for some than others. I consider myself "lucky" in that my BS is pretty well managed with little effort on my part. I can easily skip 1 or 2 meals and stay stable all day long. It's the **** pizza and pasta that throw me off.
