This is a continuing rant among diabetics. They should know all about our problem and support us. Well how many of us are experts on the subjects near and dear to their hearts? And would we be "experts" if we did not have it? Not likely.
I know a lot of people enjoy the pain of dealing with these morons. I have diabetes and I don't have time to worry about them.
Co workers have told me for years I should write a book about computers because of my experience. They have a question and appreciate a quick reply. Now if they are not looking for that particular answer, if I started just randomly spewing it out, I'd get that glazed look from the same people.
I let the people who think they have it under control with their 400 BG readings be because they won't listen anyways. I too have seen severely obese sedentary people who say they control theirs like I do with diet and exercise as they stuff a twinky into their face.
We too are guilty of offering advice to people about diabetes. We too say some stupid things (in their mind) and yet we feel like we are doing them favors. And they get upset and have to get it off their chest on a forum.
