It is also so annoying when people ask does it hurt and where do you take your shota and stuff like that. Also it annoying that the nurse at my school has to calculate the carbs and junk when i already no it.

I'm lucky im home schooled so not many people ask me that!!!!!!!!
OMG!! i hate that. i hate when people say is it cuz you ate to much sugar!! they think there is only one kind of diabetes and it annouys the crap out of me!!! those people need to mind their own frikin buisness!! i also hate those people who feel all bad for me its like i dont need pity!! i am not dying!!
i know im so sick of it when an older diabetic (who doesn't even have the same condition as me) says "i know how you feel" i mean COME ON. how can they know how i feel?
I remember in 4th grade, I had to explain to my teacher, her aide, and 3 other people that diabetes wasn't contagious, and I had to spend all day in the library because a PTA mom said my shots might upset the other kids in class, and then had the audacity to give me that nasty 50/50 chocolate stuff in a goodie bag. this was right after I started Lantus/Humalog . Thank god for the insulin pen, I was always being asked if I was an addict when I used the syringes. And every new school I went to (we move a LOT) I had to go through the same thing over and over again. I finally ended up dropping out this year (I'm starting college about this time next year) because the school board is trying to say I was skipping school, and having fun. I bet at least 99% of you know that having high and low blood glucose is just a blast! I wish that SOMEONE would do a documentary or something on kids and teens with diabetes, like they do with everything else, mabey someone would finally get it through their head about this.
I know i hate when people try to give ME advice about diabeties when this is the first time they heard of it, people say should you be eating that. but to the person with the last post i missed alot of school to i just couldnt keep up so i had to be home schooled starting at 10th grade if your intrested heres the website i really like it its pretty easy. www.americanschoolofcorr.com check it out hope you like it
I hate when people ask me the same stupid questions like,"Does it hurt?" ....NO!!! I LOVE POKING MYSELF 3+ TIMES A DAY FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE, YOU SHOULD TRY IT SOMETIME!!!
obviously. that one is probably most constant. I also dont enjoy it when girl start screaming when i inject myself. its quite hard on the ear-drums. people can be so insensitive.
[quote user="heather08bby"]I have the one that you get by genetics..not by being fat(:[/quote]
WE AREN'T FAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When I meet somebody who knows I'm diabetic but hasn't seen a picture of me, they always say "Wow, you're skinneir than I thought!" And I'm like, "Yeah, and you have a big nose." (I don't actually say that, but I think it!) I can't stand people thinking I'm fat. AGH!
I agree with you ALL! Sometimes people, even in FRONT of my parents who know more that they do and care about me more, tell me "NO STOP EATING THAT!! YOU CAN HAVE THAT!!" Im like dude, I have been doing this for about 4 years not, I know what I can and will have, and what I cant and wont have. Its so annoying! Once and my best friends party, there was this guys mom that knew I had diabetes. I has checked for a slice of cake, 144ish.. she just came up to me and snached my slice from me and said. "I will tell your parent you were eating cake! You cant have cake! Do you want to die?!" I used so much energy to contain myself. I know they want to help but they cannot me our Diabetic Police! Thats what we are for, and our parents. We know what is best. Sometimes not even another diabetic can tell us whats bad for us cuz most diabetics are different.. Anyways, I agree with Amber, these questions, out-of-the-blue-sugestions, and I-know-better-than-you-even-thou-im-not-a-diabetic actions are very annoying!
during school i have to test my BS at the office, and wenever im testing some little kid comes in and stares at me like im a freak!! and one time this kid starts to talk to me then wen he brings up that i have diabetes he whispers it! like i THINK that he was just trying to be polite but he whispered it like it was the devils word!! i was so angry at him!!
and some times while im in the health room testing one of my friends come in and watches me with eagle eyes she always ask "wat ya doin?" and im thinkin WHAT DO YOU THINK IM DOING?! I ALWAYS COME IN HERE AND TEST MY BG!! and wen im putting my meter away she tries to take a look at my fingers with out me noticing!! I JUST WANT TO YELL AT HER!! like YOU WANNA INSPECT MY ARM TOO!!
AHG!!!
I hate when people ask me "ooh what type of cell phone is it?" and then when I tell them that it's my Insulin Pump they lose interest!
>:-(
truts me it does annoying many of my fam. members ask me the same questions ....i hate it soo much...
omg, my family does the same thing. They r always saying Whats ur blood sugar?, like every 2 seconds- even after ive had it for 8yrs. Its like i want them to care but sometimes they care too much. it bugs me so much
I know! I used to have to go to the school office to check my BG and the secretary/nurse would always ask what my number was and then if it was high/low she would tell me what to do! I was like "I know what the heck to do-you dont need to tell me." Then if I had a headache and needed advil she always asks me if I have a low BG and I have to tell her EVERY time that I dont only get headaches from low BGs-like normal people I can get headaches from whatever! So now I just keep some advil in my bag for when I get a normal headache or a low BG headache. Why should we have to do stuff like that when people could learn to just be considerate and listen to what we are saying to them so we dont have to do everything the long way around? So frusterating!!! }:(
i know its craziness!!! i hate it when my blood sugar gets low, and then i get it back up, the rest of the day ppl are like "are u ok" constantly!! or like when my class went on a trip, the principal (he was on the trip too) watched everthing i ate, gosh its like i think i know what i can eat and stuff...
Ahhh same here!!! Sometimes when I go really high I get super moody and people don't understand to just leave me alone and they are constantly in my face asking things like "omg what did you eat??" and "are you okay emily are you SUREEE your okay??" I understand they mean well but I wish ppl would just back off a little...They aren't my body, they haven't gone through half the things I have gone through and they annoying questions and remarks certain people make really aren't needed. I wish they could just live one day in our shoes...and I would love to see how they hold up.
how many times have i thought "if they just lived one day in my shoes". good grief i think it would take away ALL those annoying questions! i think what REALLY gets on my nerves is when people think i am faking it... ya thats prob the one thing that i hate the most, people are either constantly worried your gonna pass out or they think your being overdramatic when you get ketones or something AHHH
hahaha exactly! I have had that happen to me before...they are like you are just saying that so you can eat...helloooo if I wanted to eat I would just eat I wouldn't make up things up about bein diabetic or something...i couldnt agree with you more!!! hahaha...oh lord. Oh yea I get the overdramatic thing sometimes to... UGH.
omg. i hate it when people sit there and stare at me when i check my blood sugar when theyve seen it tons of times!
haha its ok emma i get very dramatic too trust me! ya seriously, ppl just stare at you and are like does that hurt? good grief....
