[QUOTE="MrBen, post: 1814660, member: 398167"] Nice people would not say such horrible things. Type one is part of you - but it does not define you. Personally I think it makes you a bit more interesting. When you find the "right one" he will want to be with YOU and all of you. Normal people never really understand, but some will try harder than others. I am type one for 38 yrs. My girlfriend doesn't really understand, but she tries really hard. She likes insulin smell, and she spots the signs v quickly on the rare occasions I dont. When I was dating I always had a slight apprehension about revealing I was type one. Always made sure I did it straight awayish. And usually made more conversation. I have shared a blood test on most of the 1st dates. Good way to weed out any needlephobics! When you have a date with someone who you fit with, they will accept you for all of you. I know the feeling of being nervous about bringing it up. But I also know once I have things are fine. If the date is right they will ask you lots of questions. You then have a chance to talk about something that is constant in your life. Diabetes neither defines nor controls you. But it is there always, sticking it's little head out whenever it can. You will find the reaction of your date will be a really good indicator of the quality of your date. The simplicity is that a nice guy will want to talk about it and show interest. Good luck with your next date. Ben [/QUOTE]
