[QUOTE="ronialive, post: 831991, member: 53168"] I have been diabetic since I was 3 and so have never seen it as a problem and it has never stopped me doing anything. If anyone saw it in a different way then I would not want them as a friend or a partner. Education of people is important as there are so many myths and false information. Also people see type 1 and type 2 as the same thing with the same treatment and it isn't. Diabetes is only a problem if we make it one. My doctor told my mother when we were small that it was a good job we were intelligent as that is what diabetes needs- that we have to be our own doctor dietician and nurse as the majority of them know little about it. We have been together for over 20 years and through 2 difficult pregnancies and many funny hypo's. [/QUOTE]
