OTHER's lack of knowledge, and THEM trying to tell ME what I can and cannot eat and/or do! I'm VERY well educated on the subject of Diabetes, TYVM (through my own determination), and I know exactly what I can or cannot eat and/or do!

That, and lows .... the yukky feeling they give

Oh, and the Medical Community's general lack of knowledge on Diabetes! I think that actually irks me the most! I find NO excuse for a doctor or nurse to not even know the very basic of basics!
