I'm evolving into a "total opposite" view of my former self. Yes, this stuff bothers me...in the sense that you realize how many people are 1) clueless about basic diabetes knowledge or 2) clueless about most everything. Unless they have half a brain to begin with...learning something basic about diabetes won't be much help. Same with cancer, aids, & MS.

I'm in a Weight Watchers group where I hear this stuff every week. I also hear each week how someone was "cured" by losing 25 lbs. I was told by someone that since I took insulin I should avoid "starches" at all costs.

This stuff goes on and on. I didn't hear it much when I was younger...but entering the baby-boomer-diabetic-wave...it's now several times a day.

I rarely discuss diabetes with anyone now...unless I know them personally.
