I've only been living with type 1 for 19 months but I think I have compiled enough anecdotal data to conclude that there is an inverse relationship between someone's factual knowledge of diabetes and the amount of pontificating they do on the topic. Drives me nuts. I once had someone demonstrate their total ignorance of diabetes and couch it in the "I'm worried about your health" song and dance. I spouted my last A1C (5.8%) and when they looked at me blankly, I said "You don't know what that means? I thought you were an expert?" They haven't brought it up since. :) Did I mention it was my boss's boss?Fionahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00695475733558368333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4554065451552854407.post-1493524063493095062010-07-07T13:05:53.686-05:002010-07-07T13:05:53.686-05:00Rant away, Brenda!

I've had my fair share of run ins with ignorant people. For instance, a nurse at my old job argued with me for a good 10 minutes saying that BECAUSE i CHOSE to take insulin, I was definitely going to go blind. She said insulin CAUSES diabetics to go blind...and when I tried to educate her, she laughed and said "well, you're not a nurse." <br /><br />That is just one of the many examples of people's ignorance. I have no idea why some people try to talk about things they have no clue about! I mean they MUST know that they don't know what they are saying, and yet they try to make it sound like they are experts...why????<br /><br />Sorry for the rant Holly, just makes me so mad!Brenda Whttp://olivejooice.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4554065451552854407.post-84099235512220850612010-07-07T12:45:22.236-05:002010-07-07T12:45:22.236-05:00LOL!
