"Excuse me, ma'am (sir). You can't eat that!" - The Diabetes Police
"Yes, I can! This is MY life!" - You and Me
If you have any kind of diabetes, you have probably run into the food police. They are the kind souls that take responsibility for regulating what you put into your mouth.
(Warning: If you're a loved one of someone with diabetes, and reading this, you may be the diabetes police and not even know it.)
The police come in two main varieties:
* The well-intentioned person who has no idea how diabetes is managed in the 21st century.
* The overbearing friend or relative that wants you to be perfect. All the time.
