I ran into a situation like this on a message board and the girl told me she had read a ton of books, spoke to numerous doctors, so she knew what she was talking about.<BR/><BR/>I just let her go with it. Sometimes people are so stubborn that they're not willing to take into consideration other information. It's so not worth the energy to "enlighten" them.<BR/><BR/>You're right, he's so wrong...it's that black and white in this instance.Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11082031887238694358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20953083.post-1146056587427462002006-04-26T06:03:00.000-07:002006-04-26T06:03:00.000-07:00George:I too have difficulty dealing with these 'k...George:<BR/>I too have difficulty dealing with these 'know-it-all' types. I think you received some sage advice in the above comments. I personally go with the smile and nod philosophy, as it's too much work to change their mind and they're so happy with their position, why spoil it for them?<BR/><BR/>Oh, and thanks for stopping by my blog. I appreciate the comments!Keithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04290126384874472887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20953083.post-1145989572422100862006-04-25T11:26:00.000-07:002006-04-25T11:26:00.000-07:00There are two ways to deal with people like that:1...There are two ways to deal with people like that:<BR/>1. smile and nod, smile and nod, while inwardly calling them impolite names.<BR/>2. Debate them, but only if you have charts and graphs and pictures with circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one. Even then you might not convince them.Major Bedheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17669161302510096751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20953083.post-1145984710445776472006-04-25T10:05:00.000-07:002006-04-25T10:05:00.000-07:00Thanks for all your comments.

Type 1 can manifest at virtually any age and so can Type 2. I got Type 1 at 23 and the doctor in the ER diagnosed me as Type 2. My blood sugar was over 600 and I weighed about 80 pounds... so he prescribed Metformin for me and sent me on my way. Luckily, my aunt is a nurse and told me to go to another place. I did, and they diagnosed me as a Type 1 and started me on shots. <BR/><BR/>BTW... I was in Chicago for business too!

I was 36 years old, my BG was only 292 at diagnosis (had come in for a physical, no symptoms) and my grandmother had type 2.<BR/>I thinks he was waiting for me to go into DKA and then he'd re-diagnose me as type 1. <BR/>I fired him, but only after a few months of hell. Your poor guy probably had an idiot dr like I did...Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10312006887995801255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20953083.post-1145916168412192212006-04-24T15:02:00.000-07:002006-04-24T15:02:00.000-07:00George, as someone who was diagnosed T1 nearly 6 y...George, as someone who was diagnosed T1 nearly 6 years ago but in my 30s, that comment indeed sounds rediculous to me. Ignorance is everywhere. Don't let it get ya down.<BR/><BR/>I just found your blog off the diabetesdailly site.

People who insist on being right usually won't admit to being wrong. Therefore, even if you were to correct him, it would be pointless. You probably did the only thing you could...keep clear of a "diabetes" conversation. Walk away knowing that you know what you have. Geeze..isn't it funny how some people claim to know more about you than you do? Or your doctor for that matter. Just my opinion. Next time, just interject..hey how about them Redsox or whatever team you root for. Don't let them get to you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
