co-worker vent- GD related

I was just diagnosed with GD on Monday, had my class yesterday and I am supposed to be testing my blood today (figures I forgot the thing at home).

Anyways, my manager knows about the situation and knows that I cannot have any sweets. The other manager brought in donuts and said to have some. I told him I couldn't have any sweets, told him the situation, but said thanks and I wished I could have one. What do they do??

They each go and get a donut and eat it right in front of me telling me how good they are. And saying stuff like you don't know what your missing. These are really good... blaa blaa blaa.

I found that extremely rude! They know that I have a sweet tooth and to intentionally rub it in my face that I cannot have the chocolatey goodness that is right in front of me is just mean.

Sorry. I had to vent. Nice first morning on the GD diet huh?

    You know what I do?  I just say, yeah, while I am here eating my carrots, that donut is going right to your ass.  Please don't eat those in front of me.  Thanks. :)  I work with a bunch of men who don't think before they do, so, I am used to it. :)

    My co-workers find it extremely entertaining to bring sweets into my office and offer me some.  When I say no, they sit there and eat them.  I threatened someone with a letter opener yesterday, thankyouverymuch.

    I would have decked them.  We sometimes have bday treats and such, last time I just didn't go down to the party - of course everyone was up my butt - but I just said I need to watch what I eat.  If I give them the whole GD speech I get the ohhhhh I am soo sorry - thats just as annoying.

    My co-workers will offer me food (donuts or chips) and when I say "thanks, but I can't" they love to say "But the baby wants some!"

    Umm, STFU!  I'll tell YOU what the baby does and does not want.

    Ugh, it's not like I haven't told them I have GD.

    Morons.

    All of these comments make me thankful I own my own business/work from home - no coworkers to get in the way of my GD. :( I thought it was bad enough when we ran out to grab something last night and our friend got a Reeses twister ice cream and I thought about assaulting him and inhaling it because it smelled amazing.

    Well, last Monday one of my DOCTORS (the one I can't stand) came into my appointment eating a donut!!!!  I couldn't believe it!! She knows that I have GD and everything.  Plus, even if I didn't, it still would have been rude to eat DURING my appointment.  I was so upset!  She even kept telling me how good the donut was and that she shouldn't be eating it because she was a borderline diabetic herself.  What class!!
