Let me explain something before I ask my question.

I have diabetes and am trying hard to control my eating and all that. I take insulin. When my sister and brother in law come over I'm ALWAYS reminded that I have it. I don't like it. Question I have is, is: should people remind you constantly that you have a disability/disease, or let you live life and deal with it on your own?

I would tell them that you don't find their updates of your health to be the least bit useful. Aggravating.

This belongs in the Health forum, not Miscellaneous. :) But to answer your question, if you don't like it, tell them to stop.
 
I think anyone who makes a person with a disability/disease uncomfortable is not being very polite. A little sensitivity goes a long way.

Perhaps they don't realize they are making you uncomfortable. Just point it out to them: "When you do X, I feel Y."

Miscellaneous can be any topic. You're fine.

when your sister makes those comments, I'd just let her know you appreciate her concern, but you've got it under control
