Dude, I gotta apologise if I sounded really bitchy. If it were someone else on here, I'd have ripped them a new one without batting an eye. It's a real sore spot from years of ignoramus shitheads telling me that I must have eatent oo many lollies when I was a kid. It's like, will you just FUCK OFF? Now? Also when people comment on another diabetic's control. "My cousin's neighbour has AWFUl control. She's going to die soon, probably next month." I feel like wringing necks. Have they taken a look at their meter? Chatted to the endo? Or, wait for it, taken an offhand comment as gospel? I say that my control is not idea sometimes but the specifics of what makes control good or bad is too detailed to ever cover in a conversation with someone you don't want to kill from boredom.... See, I'm ranting...
I take it your uncle has type 2? That's more a lifestyle and heredity type than 1, but diet alone doesn't
cause diabetes. Bad health causes a lot of organs to eventually fail. The pancreas is just one more, like the heart or liver. Heredity is a strong link though. If type 2 is rife in your family, then you'll be wise to be wary when youth leaves you. Type 1 is not caused by either diet or lifestyle. It's mainly just tough fucking luck. It's certainly linked to genes, but some people just get unlucky and have bodgey immune systems.
On the UDLs though, you gotta admit the bogan lifestyle has a few pluses... And it's also not one of those shitty girl drinks, like the breezers and so on. I'd rather be seen with a tinny than a stupid pomegranate flavoured toilet water and vodka pre-mix, with a gaggle of sluttily dressed 30 something friends who think they're better than the sluttily dressed 40 something cougars prancing around a club with music that is too awful to be played at such volumes.
Um... things I love... Yeah, last night, we bbq'd barramundi. Fucking heaven, guys. Seasoned with lemon thyme, lemon juice, virgin oil, cracked pepper, served with herb and buttered bbq'd whole spuds, beans and peas.
No, don't worry about it. I actually couldn't recall that you had it, I understand if you thought you came off a bit antsy or whatever, I'd be pretty pissed off with something like that, too.
