They know their own limitations far better than you do.

Random thing......there's this woman at my work who has diabetes (but still enjoys the occasional sweet treat that people bring into the office), and since we started at the same time, we kind of hit it off. She's really nice, and she's really cheerful and upbeat as well. Anyway, the other day, I mentioned to her that another one of our co-workers had brought in donuts for everyone, and I'd put them on top of the fridge, she replied in a sort of matter-of-fact way, "You know, I really shouldn't be eating that stuff," and I told her, "You know, you're so happy and cheerful all the time, I forget there's anything wrong with you." I know it sounds silly, but I'm really going to miss her when I go back to school in the fall.
