Newbie! Hello to all

[mazzah]

For 18 years of my life, I was embarrassed to admit I was a Type 1 diabetic. I was embarrassed to admit I was different from everyone I went to school with. I was embarrassed I had to eat or drink juice in front of peers when the time didn't permit.

I think many people on here have had the same experience.

As a fat type 2 my problem used to be that I felt people were judging me every time they saw me eating - especially if it was non diet food.

I'm well past that.

Welcome to the forum!
