people used to do that to me. "no, you cant have that (random food with 15g of carbs)". i have learned over the years to ignore them. thye have no right to tell me what i can eat and what i cant. i am competant enough to say whether i can have something or not have something.
Soo frustrating when ignorant people think they actually know what is better!
I cant stand it when people think they are your doctor/endo
i hate that too.. trust me. we all do
I had an especially ignorant person tell me that I shouldn’t complain, my 5 year old son had a 'sugar allergy" and it was just like any other parent who was watching out for their kid with an allergy.
its verrry frustrating and annoying.. im trying to teach myself to ignore them and not let it get to me.
Lisa,
I have never heard of a more idiotic phrase in my life. What a fool!
I hate it when they ask if yor diabetic, say they dont know much about it and then tell you that you cant eat it. then when you tell them you can, they keep asking " Dude, you sure?" Yes Im Sure!!
that drives me crazy when nondiabetics tell me what i can and cannot do. my firends may be looking out for me, but sometimes they can go overboard wiht it. "no, you cant have that" "thats regular" "theres sugar in that" etc...
