I really love to hate the question from all those knowitalls non D's that happens to see me testing and/or injecting and having some sweet stuff... "Can you really eat that?" or "Should you be eating that?" Heck, if i can't handle something, then i wouldn't eat it!
It really drives me nuts sometimes
This afternoon me and my parents went to some friends of the family, and the hosts didn't know about my Diabetes... And there were cookies with the coffee, of course, and my very own MUM dropped the question "should you really be eating all that sweet stuff?"
Both she and dad knows very well that i can handle my diabetes... The hosts were confused for a while until i told them i'm diabetic since october 2004. Last time i met them, a couple of years ago or so, i just sneaked out to my handbag to test and inject (and mum or dad didn't say anything)... I was planning to do that today too, to not get any "special treatment" but well... Ended up asking our friends to not change anything for me, that i could handle whatever. And they took it really well and i even went to get my pen and meter from my bag and showed them
They have a granddaughter with type1, so they're a little bit familiar with D at least
Hmm i guess after this long one, i can add to the "annoying list", all those well meaning people taking out "diabetes cookies" and stuff like that, as soon as you're invited over. Of course it's kind of them, but if they only asked before, then they could save both money and time and just bring out the regular sweets
I escaped the sugarfree cookies today, thankfully
Did end up a tad bit high, but corrected it
Thanks heaven my cold is going away so i can have those sweets again
