My friends have never been like zomg, yur gonna die. At least not to my face anyway.
But it was totally understandable that you got upset, anyone would.
It's fine to joke, but there's joking and then there's just being plain offensive.
And they were being offensive in my book.
But the thing that annoys me is when they ask about a blood sugar reading, and get all super freaked out over nothing.
Here's a conversation I had with a friend:
Me- Sorry about that, had to check my blood sugar.
Friend- That's cool, what was it?
Me- 150
Friend- zomg that's so bad! Why aren't you taking better care of it?
Me- .... It's only ten points out of my normal range, it's not gonna hurt me.
Friend- Oh.
I get that they're concerned but it doesn't always help.
Also, I had a low one day when we went to a theme park, and another friend of mine was convinced that I was a brittle diabetic because I said it wasn't a big deal.
We had been walking for awhile, it made sense that I would have a low. No need for hysterics.
I don't know.
The more they care and ask about it and freak out about it, the more I wish they would leave me alone about it.
I'm a big girl, I know how to take care of myself, kthx.
