Sadly there is an ignorance that permeates society that diabetes is controlled entirely by the diabetic. I spoke at length about the 42 things that can impact upon my BG in a meeting with the head and HR 6 months ago. When they read that there were so many things that we have absolutely no control over they were initially sceptical but then realised it was medically 'proven'. I also showed feedback from reviews with my consultant that stated my control was 'excellent', which also seemed to appease them.

Ignorance is annoying although at least they know now
 
Well yeah ignorance may be annoying, but I'll be honest - had I never needed to learn anything about diabetes, why the hell would I have bothered?

True , had I grown up without diabetes I wouldn’t have ever known what it was - but being diagnosed at 7 years old I can’t remember eating without doing an injection and testing my BG first!
