Dont you just get cheesed of with the normals

[megga]

Your fasting to try and get your levels under control
they open a pack of biscuits

You want a snack at night, but know you will go high and its not worth it
They open a pack of biscuits

you have a coffee mid day, waiting for lunch
they open a pack of biscuits

you open a pack of biscuits
they say "and you wonder why your diabetic"
they eat the biscuits

Love it!

My OH does this, even if he knows my BG is high he'll still say "do you want one?"!!!

I wrote this poem about this sort of thing

As I was out walking, I happened to meet
Someone casually eating some crisps in the street.
Now, that’s not remarkable, I hear you all say,
For it’s something we witness almost every day!
Well, that may be true, but I think you may find
Diabetes brings thoughts of a quite different kind.
The thoughts may be angry: how dare she do that!
Just stuffing her face at the drop of a hat!
The thoughts may be jealous: I wish it was me,
Enjoying those crisps so entirely carefree!
Or, maybe some sadness: I remember the time
When I would eat crisps, oh the taste was sublime!
Now that one simple act that the girl took for granted,
For me, is a sin that must now be recanted.
The carbs in the crisps would send my blood sugar high –
It’s hard to resist, but I really must try!
But once in a while, I may admit defeat,
And casually consume some crisps in the street!

Ha ha that's brilliant! . I have always tried to be sensitive to my son's dietary restrictions, such as they are, for example if we were out and about and stopped in a café for a drink and cake, and his levels were already in double figures, neither of us would have a cake. My ex-husband still would though, he'd happily sit there scoffing a chocolate brownie or suchlike while his son just had a sugar free drink - that's why I'm a type 3 and my ex is just a muggle. 🙂

Oh I find the passing comment

A moment on the lips - a lifetime on the hips!

Works very well indeed with persons of the female persuasion, and always for me anyway, whoever it is doing it!

My dad does that (he's a doctor!) but I know it's out of politeness. If he's offering pudding, eg, it'd be rude for him if he didn't offer me any😛
As for him indoors, he's just an insensitive, greedy pig!🙄🙄

Next time something like that happens, you should say "well you'd better stop eating the biscuits too then, or you'll be next"

I get grumpy when the 'normals' have already planned that they are going to eat my pudding before I say yes or no, the helpful "order one anyway and I'll eat it". Why, how very thoughtful of you.

Don't be so intolerant, they can't help not having the "gift" of D.

Here's another poem - imagine if everyone had diabetes!

If everyone had diabetes,
I wonder what the world would be like?
Would we give up our motorised transport
And all travel round on a bike?

For I’m guessing we’d all be more active,
And eat fewer biscuits and buns,
And maybe some chemist would come up with
A sweetener that doesn’t cause the ‘runs’!

We wouldn’t treat children with chocolates,
Nor feed them on pizzas and pies,
They’d learn from the start about footcare,
And how to look after their eyes.

Our food would contain far less sugar,
And we’d choose with more care what we ate,
There’d be warnings, like cigarettes, on packaging,
And we wouldn’t pile so much on our plates.

Maybe we’d see rapid progress
On things now affecting us all,
So we wouldn’t need charity for funding,
And the politicians all would play ball!

Maybe one day it will happen,
For we’re 300 million strong,
And the way that the world seems to be heading,
The rest will all join before long! 😱

Funnily enough, my husband seems to agree with Fergus !!

I wonder why that is ? 😱

He says us diabetics don't realise half the things they have to put up with - and don't get free everything like the T1s.

Well darling dearheart sweetie - you can have it for all I care - tell you what you have a birthday very soon - Sorted !

Same here, but we're talking big bags of crisps! Him indoors can get thru a big bag in no time at all. 😱 I just hope he doesn't get T2 like his mum n dad. I don't know how he'd cope with the restrictions!😱
