[QUOTE="Juicyj, post: 428397, member: 53162"] I would try not to worry about telling anyone - I felt very awkward to start with but once I started telling people then it became alot easier - trying practicing on a few people first who dont know about it ? It does get easier in time and to be honest telling people you work with is really important, it's more embarressing trying to explain after a hypo why - trust me i've done that one too !! I have generally found that the reaction I get is the following: Is that the good or bad sort ? Can you eat sugar - followed by you shouldn't be eating that ! Tell me all about it. However the best one I had - I suppose you just get on with it then. Also don't worry about what people think - we are all extraordinary people who are all different, whatever our race, age, sex, illness etc, I think it's good to be different. [/QUOTE]
