Oh dear, I guess I'm quite fortunate. No one has ever been abusive towards me having diabetes. Then again, I'm up-front with everyone and let people know, friends, colleagues, acquaintances. I don't mean "I'm Martwolves and I'm diabetic", rather so that if I become ill they are aware what is wrong and know what to do. I'm also on warfarin and have ordered I'd bracelets should I need medical assistance or if i should go hypo. My friends, workmates, colleagues, etc are brilliant and wouln't dream of being so vile! It's discriminatory and inflammatory and working for a railway company with 35k staff, it would be acted upon. Our values are teamwork, respect, environment among others and would be taken seriously if anyone were to be bullied, as a previous line manager found out.
I'm saddened to hear this kind of abuse is prevalent on Facebook, but my friends are fiercely loyal and don't take much ****. I nearly died 16 months ago due to a bloodclot and I don't think they'd take any belittling lightly. Choose your friends wisely. Happy not to have experienced this kind of repulsive, hurtful behaviour!
Be strong and stay well!
Mart.
