[QUOTE="Snapsy, post: 1548107, member: 265172"] Oh [USER=429571]@Shannon27[/USER] thank you for your lovely rating on my 'Between Two Lines' post, and this lovely post from you! It's difficult, isn't it, when people in our day-to-day lives aren't able to grasp what needs to be - for us - second nature? All the testing, working out, changing plans at the last minute to deal with hypos or the fact you've suddenly run out of insulin, etc etc - all that stuff. It's only now that I'm about 200 years old (okay, 42 and a half!) that I've finally got to grips with trying to have diabetes [I]with confidence [/I]- when I was a teenager and then a student it just seemed easier to hide it, deal with it on my own, not let any of the feelings - not to mention all the diabetic kit! - even [I]show[/I]. With hindsight that was tremendously lifestyle-limiting - so I think if I'd tried to get people on board with it I would have been able to better deal with it. As people we diabetes we have so much more to deal with than a lot of other people do. And although my diabetes is [I]my[/I] diabetes, I'd find it all the more difficult to deal with if those around me didn't know about it. I wish I'd realised that quite a lot of years ago - LOL! Hugs! Love Snapsy :) [/QUOTE]
