I am type one and 23 years of age I never tell anyone I have diabetes not even people in my work! Because most people think you get diabetes from being fat or eating to much sugar because of the media! I find it embarrassing and makes me hate having it even more
Having just noticed that you are type I, and although fully understanding where you're coming from, telling nobody might not be the best thing to do. I remember a chap at work collapsing and someone suggesting he was drunk, just as well there was somebody who knew he was type I. Who knows what might have happened if he'd been dumped in one of the conference rooms to sober up, which had been suggested, in an effort to prevent higher management from discovering his "drunkenness".
