I agree it is a cross between showing how little they know, the person who is being talked about has a "poor ME" attitude or the person is nearing the end of life due to complications whether because they did not take care of themselves or not who is to say.

I also make a joke of it. One of my favorites is when asked if I am a full blood Indian I say no I'm a pint low from checking my blood sugars.

So like many areas of life put on your big boy pants and deal with it or let what other people say rob you of joy in life.
