After i installed a Boiler today I was asked by my brother to go help a guy Re-wire a Boiler because he could not read the schematic. I guess i should add that i really have never liked the guy because (and I am probably about to get yelled at) he uses his diabetes as an "I cant excuse"... You know the ones:
I cant Work today because my sugar is high
I cant Work today because my sugar is low
I cant work tonight because I need to eat and I forgot my money
So I get there and he said "I am so glad you are here because you are fast and my blood Sugars are high" hmmmm He said this as He was eating a whopper and drinking a MT Dew! Over the next hour he explained how my brother does not understand how difficult this desease is to control... I then said I need to take a break (My back was killing me!!!!!) grabbed a chair to sit on and tested my BG in front of him...
He could not believe i was Diabetic. He then said "I guess since you are testing you must be having a hard time also and that is when I had enough and said NO, I BELIVE THAT IF I AN GOING TO KILL MYSELF A BULLET WILL BE A LOT QUICKER AND LESS PAINFUL THEN THE WHOPPER, FRIES AND MT DEW YOU ARE DRINKING!" I then showed him a Bg of 92 and offered to test his. He turned me down. He said I do not understand how hard it is to be Diagnosed later in life like he was. He is 26... I am 38! Yeah Ok! When we left we both pulled into 7-11. I grabbed a Powerade Zero... Him a Gatorade... I told him that is he put it back I would buy him a Powerade Zero... He said there is no difference... So I showed 0 carbs and he said fine.
Sorry just needed to vent because 6 hours later I still can not believe that a person Diagnosed a year ago does not take care of himself.
