[QUOTE="leahkian, post: 1622385, member: 32193"] tvnerd i am sorry to hear about you getting diabetes and also getting dumped, if that is the type of person he is then he not worth it. In time you will become more at ease with diabetes but this does not happen over night and the best thing is for you to get that sorted first. When i first started going out i would hide that i had diabetes from them but at the age of about 21 (20 years ago!!!) i thought why should i not tell them i am a diabetic and that's how you find the people who are not scared. I did have a few questions to answers the one that sticks out is if i kiss you will i catch diabetes, i said no but i might turn into a frog. The thing is we do not ask to be diabetics but if people want to be with us, diabetes comes as part of the package. You are only young and there is enough time for you to meet people. As you say type 2 is more common in India but that means that people are more aware of diabetes and this may be of help. Do not change for anyone you are you and why should you change, it is you who have diabetes and if someone want to come on the ride they will have to except it to. [/QUOTE]
