It looks like it has been taken down now? That blog post made me feel so sad. Why is it that oftentimes the worst enemy is from within the family?

I think she's a very young girl, and was basically parroting back what the media feeds us. I don't think she really knew how wrong the things she was saying were, and I don't think she knew she was being offensive.

That's the problem....people not doing any research before opening their mouths.....blah blah blah! I did suggest to her to peruse our site, as there are many groups/blogs/discussions on type 2.

I had a very close friend tell me that I would die young, but that he would tell stories about me to his children and grandchildren so that I could live forever through him. I nearly never talked to him again after that... but about a year later, we married. It's funny now that I think about it... how much I hated him when he told me I would die way before him, and how much I love him now. btw He doesn't say anything like that nowadays.

i test so often [when the CGMS isn't on] that i can usually get blood out of them without a fingerstick. there's no time for them to heal.
anyone who gets on me about often i test, i just start squishing my fingertips so they start bleeding and i say 'you wanna see?'
do it enough and they will avoid everything to do with your glucose testing forever.
i know, i'm not very nice but i get so fed up

one time me and my daughter were at a birthday party, and I checked her blood sugar, and this lady and her grandaughter were looking at us. After I finished I heard the lady say "you see what happens when you eat a lot of candy".....

With all the hard work the ADA & JDRF is doing, I can't believe how stupid people still are. Darn, I don't have the words to tell you how much that comment annoys me!!

Ughhh! I used to hear that all of the time as a kid, but more like "why, did you eat too much candy before and then got Diabetes?"
That was the belief about 25-30 years ago. They didn't know what they know now...which is why that lady sounds even more ignorant than the normal ignorant fool!

I use to hear that about 15 years ago and I have heard other people say they have heard that recently. People just need to educate themselves on diabetes because it is growing so much they have a huge chance of getting it.
