i had never 'come out' about my diabetes to anyone at work before this weekend, where it came up in conversation. (although my boss already knows).
i was talking about how annoying i find some vegan 'youtubers', particularly those who say that their high carb low fat diet works for everyone, (as i was talking about veganism with a coworker) and i added that i feel this way due to my diabetes, and if i ate how they recommended it'd be detrimental to my diabetes. and the next day one of my coworkers asked me to try some juice so i told him i was diabetic and couldn't.
i guess i feel embarrassed about it and that they might think of me as a liability, and worry about me when i'm there, which i wouldn't want.
does anyone else feel like this about their coworkers knowing about their diabetes? i wish i could be more confident about it!
