[QUOTE="Moosh97, post: 1751861, member: 433871"] I’ve been a type one diabetic for 17 years (i was diagnosed at 3), and I found it hard living with type one diabetes. I never hid it from people if they wanted to know I’d tell them, I was recently in KFC and a young girl was sitting in front of me and she was acting nervous and she kept her hands under the table. I soon realised that she was diabetic and I think she was uncomfortable with what others should have thought about her, I soon reached into my bag and with full confidence checked my glucose levels and even did my injection in a full restaurant. She see that I also being a diabetic had to do the same things as her and she felt more confident to lift her injection up and inject herself [emoji4] it made me feel so good to show that I was once like this young girl and I’m glad she didn’t have to feel so shy and nervous about doing something that is gonna save our lives. I love helping people and also explaining to young and curious children what I have to do to “make me feel better” [/QUOTE]
