[QUOTE="SareN, post: 2304500, member: 522520"] Initially when diagnosed i was a little embarrassed as I didn't know much about diabetes and I had never even heard of LADA. A few months in and after a lot of reading, I am pretty open about it. I inject in public and I'm happy to discuss it with friends and family who are interested in knowing more. I have found people generally know very little about type 1 and LADA. I taught group exercise for 14 years and still train most days. I like to use my own diagnosis as an opportunity to show people that diabetes doesn't discriminate and it is something that could happen to anyone at anytime. But also that it doesn't have to hold you back....now on insulin, i am back to my previous fitness level and doing things again that I thought were long in my past. I found instagram to be amazing and very motivational....its full of amazing diabetics living life to the full and taking pride in their diabetes. [/QUOTE]
