One small pet peeve…

It bugs me when well-meaning friends (especially those who don’t see how I actually eat) feel the need to police even my [b]comments[/b] about food ("is that okay with your doctor ?") Having diabetes doesn’t mean you will never consume a gram of sugar or carb ever again lest you instantly drop dead. It means you take your meds, moderate your diet, exercise, lose weight if necessary, check your glucose faithfully and keep on top of your A1C (6.5 as of January 30, thank you).
I assume they mean well and just want to keep me around, but sheesh ! If I can’t even dream, what’s the point ? 😭

At least they know what Diabetes is - no one ever heard of Celiacs - even my good friends in RL are still completely confused....on that note here's something neither one of us can have 😂

@fun4us2b Damn you! How dare you torture diabetics with that picture?

@LordShadowfire IKR I can't eat it neither and it probably tastes crappy - who needs all those calories anyway?

@fun4us2b I've noticed since cutting most of the sugar from my diet that it no longer tastes good.

@LordShadowfire Same with Wheat for me....I think our taste buds adapt, which is good I think.
