Some not-so-fun truths we have to accept when we get diabetes.
1. No one cares about your health as much as you do. Not your family, not your doctor, not your spouse/partner. No one. Don't expect them to change their diet for you. Don't expect them to understand. They should listen to you, stand by you, and accept your choices. If you're in a position where those around you care more than you do: start caring more.
2. The ADA recommends all sorts of things that are going to c...ause long term damage. Fruits, grains (even free range cage free organic wild-caught steel cut grains pressed with unicorn dreams), sweet potatoes, quinoa, etc are not good. They will cause you to spike either your blood sugar, insulin, or (most likely) both.

3. The ADA recommended target blood sugar levels will lead to long term complications. There are plenty of people in this group who can vouch for that. Got an A1c of 6.9 and been happy with that for years? Great, try for lower.
4. If your doctor told you that you don't need to test often, he was wrong. He can afford to be wrong about this.
You can't.
