I would want to trip her up as she leaves the office tonight too :D:D (calm down now ! ) Its a good job everyone's different 😉
 
Well, like Stitch, I kind of wanted to give him a slap! He asked me how my 3 month fasting blood test went, and I told him it had basically halved, so that set him off. He claimed he's never been that low in his life, and he said I had just obviously had a 'blip' and was absolutely not a diabetic....... *rolls eyes* so, clearly he is jealous that I can control my condition, where as he is total rubbish at doing so!

Mike, your suggestion is so very tempting. Especially eating the Mars bar bit! :D

Ive just popped out of the office and picked up something ready for lunch.
When I got back 2 of the girls where I sit both said they were hungry and needed a snack.
One of them (the one I want to slap at the mo) opens up a big bag of popcorn (one of the large sharing ones) and starts eating it.
At that point she says "I wish I was diabetic just for 1 week"!!!

Really!!! No you dont love!!!!

I said to her "errrr, no you dont! Im diabetic for life now and wouldnt wish it on anyone"
To which she replied "Id only want it for a week to stop snacking and lose weight!"

Like its that frigging easy!!!!

GRRRRRRRR!!!!! 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

Stich...do not slap her...provocation is no defence in respect of an assault charge...however...you could avail yourself of that defence if you were to kill her stone dead...provocation is an absolute defence to a murder charge... and such comments and behaviour may qualify it...especially with the addition of the popcorn torment...just in case any enthusiastic members of the CPS ( Crown Prosecution Service) are members of this forum that was a joke...absolutely no intention to incite or coerce stich to murder anyone...not even her co-worker...if stich decides to end her torment in that way she is solely responsible for her decision:D:D:D...can recommend a good lawyer if needed...in my professional opinion...she is a silly cow ( are we allowed say that here...if not I withdraw it...)..have a good weekend...

What a stupid thing to say! Mind you, I have a co-worker who is also diabetic, who insists that I am NOT diabetic. But I guess he knows best huh?

Probably knows best about the football results...clearly not a medic then...sounds like a right J.Arthur Ranker to me...

Eat a Mars bar, wait 30 minutes, pee in his coffee. He should take that as proof when he says "I don't take sugar".

Oh dear...laughed like a drain at this...
 
@Stitch147, I'd hand her a week's worth of meds, injection pens, needles and a testing kit and tell her to get stuck in. Don't forget the diet sheet that doesn't work, the exercise schedule and at least 2 medical appointments with an 'expert' diabetes nurse who's had all of 30 minutes training. Bet she'd love it.

Then I'd strangle her.
 
Do you know you can post people envelopes of glitter as revenge? http://glitterretribution.co.uk

Not that I condone that kind of behaviour of course ... :D
 
I doubt I'd have the nerve to reply in that situation, but I'd be tempted to say "oh I really wish I could oblige and give it to you for a week, then I'd be free of all the finger pricking, needles, having to get a calculator out every time I want to eat anything" etc etc...

I regularly get "I wish I had one of them, I'm worn out" when I'm in the wheelchair.

You what...?!! :confused:😱 Who ARE these bum-holes and why are they living on our planet? That's shocking, MikeyB.

Hope her stupid comments didn't raise your BG too much, Stitch. Grrrr...😡
 
You did well not to give her a mouthful or a slap. I do sympathise as I have had some stupid remarks and I used to get angry, now I just ignore them. Keep you good sense of humour 🙂 Just take a deep breath and put it all down to ignorance. You will have the satisfaction of seeing her get bigger and bigger with her popcorn gluttony.🙂

I would probably smiled sweetly at her,and said
"No you don't love, just takes a modicum of restraint, and healthy eating knowledge, to not to have to stuff your face with carbs every couple of hours."
 
I used to work in an office where we shared the premises with a man who thought that as I was young and female I should make him coffee. I did, it was lovely and frothy from the little bit of dribble added. Sadly I married him and we are now very satisfactorily divorced.
 
@AlisonM I have just read your reply. If I ever, ever even put my little toe on the wrong side of you please feel free to remind me what a completely bad idea it is. You rock lady 😎

ROFL. I had an excellent teacher, my gran MacLean was a Scottish Wildcat, looked perfectly charming.... till you got on the wrong side of her, then she was wicked. I try to emulate her but I'm a rank amateur in comparison. I do have a positively evil imagination though.
 
If I had a choice I'd want to be fit and healthy and have all of my toes. I don't understand why any one would wish to be anything less than fit and healthy

MEOW loving it Tigger 😛
 
I ended up watching Frozen and singing along to it. Which cheered me up. Then left the office early!
 
I have a colleague who refuses to put sugar in my tea, she thinks she's doing me a favour.
