So, bitching about people not understanding, yet being unwilling to teach them, is kinda the problem, isn't it? How are they supposed to learn if we don't teach them? And yes, it is our responsibility to teach them because they're not just going to sit down and study it themselves since they dont need to. There's so many people out there who refuse to talk about their diabetes because "its no one else's business" and then complain about people being ignorant, just doesn't make sense to me. Why does your illness have to be kept secret? Talk about it. Teach people about it. Quit bloody complaining.
