The Road to Nuts
Friday, March 27, 2015 at 11:40AM "Well at least diabetes is managable"
"It could be worse"
"Diabetes doesn't mean you cannot do what you want to do"
"I could never take shots"
"My uncle lost his leg, but he didn't take care of himself"
"Well, just take care of yourself"
"So do you have the bad kind?"
"I've heard that if you lose weight and eat right you can control it with diet"
All of the statements above drive me nuts. So I say...
No it's not.
True but it still sucks.
Unless you want to be in the military or fly a plane.
You could if you had to for survival.
... (I do not know how to respond to this without getting seriously upset)
Ya think?
They are all the bad kind.
Do you think I would have chosen to take shots all these years?

I really don't like being so angry and negative but sometimes, like right now, I am just in that place.

Sometimes, you just can't avoid these people and comments. And you just gotta do what you need to in order to salvage sanity and move on, without going all cra-cra. Many a times, I find myself just smiling and nodding and biting my tongue, not having the energy to go off on an advocacy rant at that point.
I agree with Mike, I have learned not to waste my time on these people because it drives me nuts and just isn't worth getting upset over. I usually respond only by saying "That's too bad" and going elsewhere.
