[QUOTE="Robinredbreast, post: 2279550, member: 44643"] Hi, [B][I]Diabetes can be like riding a tiger, if you let go, it can savage you, but if you hold on, you might be able to steer it away from potential harm. [/I][/B] Tbh, I must say I haven't had any negative responses, my daughter has full knowledge because she has grown up with me as a type 1, she care (,also my other two children who are older) but she doesn't mollycoddle me or berate me. No one makes a big deal out of it. I have talked with people about it, (in one of my jobs I promote food brands) if they mention diabetes. Last year in my local supermarket, an older lady saw my new sensor on my arm and thought I had a sticker stuck there, I told her what it was and she was fascinated and she said she hoped I wasn't offended by her, asking, a big no was the answer, we had a lovely chat. Some family members and friends may find it difficult to understand or even acknowledge it, but they will have to get used to it, as it's not going to go away. [/QUOTE]
