Oh i forgot
 
What i hear a lot is when im at work and theres a run to the supermarket for doghnuts, cookies, carmael slices etc etc. They hand them round, get to me, and say, "oh, i forgot you were diabetic, can you have these? Ill get you something next time". It never happens!!!
The most annoying thing for me is when someone says, "oh your diabetic, does that mean you need to eat sugar all the time." Thats the next 30 minutes gone explaining about diabetes.

Omg I feel the same!
 
You are so right! I hate it when my friends say "I made some brownies, can you eat them?" And i just look at them with my irritated look and tell them yes I can thats why i have the sutpid pump(im not a fan of the medtronic pump) :o. It just makes me mad that I even told them what I have in the first place.

I actually work in a chocolate shop, had T1 for nearly 20 years. And customers always come in and say "it must be so hard to resist!" and I'm like, "no, I don't eat chocolate, I have diabetes" they think it's hilarious, I'm saving the company money by not eating the profits like everyone else! And my manager used to always ask me if I had tried this or that product, if I had leftovers after packing she would tell me I could eat it & I have to remind her I can't eat chocolate every day!

Absolutely one of the most annoying things is the 'can you eat that?' thing, topped only by 'are you the type who has too much sugar or not enough?' arrested both

The most frustrating thing to me is people always asking me, "can you eat thin?"

I absolutly hate when people ask if I can "eat that". I just wish everyone knew a little more about diabetes

They dont realize that sugar free foods have more carbs so basically it is the same thing! Ugh i get that all the time!
