Actually all the starches in the foods would be just as bad or worse for diabetes than the sugar in the soda. Starches turn to sugars and have been found to be worse than a small amount of sugar.

Hmm! People who say they're watching their line when they mean watching their waist line. Of course I can't help but answer: "Caught anything yet?" or "A line is straight or curved but it still leads from A to B! Why should you watch it?"

People who ask:"Are you in shape?" I can't help but answer:"In the shape of what? I still look human!"

Or why does everybody ask how you're doing when in their little selfish world they have absolutely no desire to know? I often answer that I don't know or that I have no time right now to seek analytical help.

You might think I'm rude but not as much as those thoughtless questions can be at times.

Whatever happened to: "Hi!"

Very true. I have quite a few clients who are diabetics and are put on low carbs.

Syrup. Maple freaking syrup. DISGUSTING!


Too funny!

I have a new one as of today. People who brake in front of you for reason, causing you to come off your bike.!!!....funny thing was though as the small crowd gathered around me to see if I and the bike were ok. I told them not to worry about the bike. "what about my iPad?". Checked my backpack and all in one piece. All is good in the world! iPad one, bike dented, me bruised...but the iPad survived! How good is that!

My current pet peeve is that my younger brother has the most negative personality imaginable. His self-esteem is probably in the negatives and he wastes no opportunity to shove it all down our throats. In addition to that, he always has to be one level worse than me. When I recently admitted to my family that I used to be agnostic, he told all of us that he used to be atheist in Sichuan a proud tone of voice!

I know, I guess I'm probably too much of an optimist, but honestly, I can't stand talking to highly pessimistic people because it's such a strain.

ABSOLUTELY!

I have a peeve in this vein as well: people who use GOBS of paper towels to dab their hands. What a waste. One sheet of paper towel, dry your hands as much as you can until the whole thing is wet, then you can use that to wipe your face or something else. By that time, your hands aren't perfectly dry (sometimes they are), but they're just damp enough to dry in the air within a few seconds. I love the hot air dryers.

Oh, and I just hate it when people capture a bug, kill it, dump it into the toilet and then flush 1.5 gallons of fresh drinking water (why reclaimed and cleaned gray water can't be used for toilets, I don't know) to get rid of the bug. Again, more needless waste.

I noticed that it takes 2 paper towels to completely dry your hands.

You have that heart stopping moment when you go to look at the screen and pray to the apple god that there isn't a crack straight down the middle! Only time I've been religious !

Of course! But isn't that a medical reason as opposed to a scientific one?

Medicine is science. The science behind it, is that there is too much sugar in regular soda so they drink diet. Diet coke with a burger is much better than water with a burger.
That's like saying if you are going to have herbicide for lunch it's better to wash it down with pesticide rather than water.

I contend you have grossly overestimated the percentage of diabetics ordering gobs of crappy unhealthy fast food and then washing it down with a diet coke, for diabetes sake.

It's usually just like Michael's peeve was about: the diet soda is a token gesture to make it seem as if they are doing "something" healthy (as if 2 liters of chemical-laden liquid is in any way healthy). I say in most cases these people are not trying to help their diabetes.... they are causing it.
