[QUOTE="Alicia R, post: 822828, member: 173575"] You're absolutely right! But, you know how it is. Think back to when you were diagnosed. Before you had time to adjust. How did you feel? How did your family react, at first? Were they all jumping for joy? Or, did it make them worry or sad? Sooner or later you have to face it head on and it's really no big thing, when you've adjusted. But in the very beginning, those first few moments when you hear those words, "You have diabetes," how does it feel? "Oh goodie, I have diabetes! I can't wait to tell my family!" Or... "Oh ****, I have diabetes. How am I going to tell my family without upsetting them?" Just saying, is all! [/QUOTE]
