People who think they know a lot about Diabetes and actually don't.
It has been a real roller coaster over the last year and I have learnt so much and met some wonderful people who also have Diabetes or relatives who have it.

It has certainly been an eye opener where a large proportion of people think they know all about it and what they do know is worrying - very little.

I am always open with people around me and explain to them what is involved with living with Diabetes, I have it, not ashamed of it and happy to educate others about it.

This forum certainly helps with the advice and support - even though it is only through messaging.

Good for you Reggie, nothing wrong with educating people about living with diabetes if they are willing to listen, the fist year is always the worst so hope that roller-coaster finally comes to a halt :)
