[QUOTE="himtoo, post: 962722, member: 142835"] Hi Tony welcome to the forum:) I can completely empathise with the feelings you describe but weirdly i have found my confidence has grown as I age. I was shy and hid my diabetes from everyone as a teen and young adult but in the last 10 years with the advent of the internet and social media and the general PC correctness in society I stand up for myself , I openly inject in public ( and test ) and I tell everybody not quick enough to get out of earshot all about my Diabetes.:D How great that you play the drums -- i will tag my metal vocalist friend [USER=101136]@Jaylee[/USER] - he rocks for sure !! also -- to let you know you are not alone with the ignorance of non D's in the dating scene have a read of this old topic -- should bring a smile or 2 [URL]http://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/worst-date-ever.70764/[/URL] and finally -- i just started on a pump a week ago -- my hypo awareness is erratic so hopefully the pump will assist me in lessening hypos too !!
