Sometimes you "normal" people just need to realize that us diabetics are scared to try new things. I, for example, am scared to do things in which I would not be able to tell what my blood sugar is such as drink, which you shouldn't do anyways, or go skydiving, cause I mean who's gonna check their sugar while falling out of a plane. But the one thing that I am afraid to do that I deal with on a day to day basis is try new food because if I don't like it then I either have to deal with it and shove it down my throat cause I need the carbs or order something new. It's a pain. And people don't understand what it feels like to NEED a certain amount of food or just be able to just push it aside if you don't like it.
I just had a fight with my dad where he was screaming at me for never trying new food and eating only the things I like. Well sorry dad. Try being diabetic for a day and you'll see what I mean. Usually my dad is pretty understanding, but sometimes he can just make me mad. I mean be a little understanding. It's also hard because if you are unsure of the carb amount, you don't know how much insulin to take! That's another reason I stick to my favorites because I know the information.
To all of you out there who don't like my eating habits. I'm sorry you don't like it, but I don't forsee it changing anytime soon...unless of course you would like to give me a fund for all of the second meals I may have to buy due to not liking the first I chose that was "out of my comfort zone".
