Most people are curious and interested to find out about diabetes, many will tell you about their grandparents or aunts and uncles and a rare few will have the same reaction as that guy! I agree with everyone else - it's a good way to weed out people who aren't going to get it or will make a big deal about it. I was once on a first date (blind date) and starting going hypo really quickly. I was in a new city so had to ask my date to guide me to the nearest shop, and help me choose some treatment (I get SO indecisive when hypo!). His first question was what would happen if he didn't help, I explained and he said it sounded like it could be funny, until I got to the hospitalisation and coma section where he literally dragged me at a half sprint to tescos. This poor boy had no idea about diabetes but I was so impressed that he was willing to help and eager to 'get it right'. I also have a diabetic friend who was 1.5 hours late for a second date because she had hypoed on her way home, an ambulance was called, and when she came round she got the paramedics to text him because she didn't have the coordination for it! I think they are still together a few years on - he didn't mind but was quite worried. It just adds another dimension to the dating game!!</p></blockquote><p></p>
