[QUOTE="ShelleyHarris1981, post: 574286, member: 60778"] hi all, I am not sure where I should have posted this but just needed a rant really. I am Type 1. yesterday it was our childrens christening. my father in law made a comment to me that has left me crying pretty much all day. Although i held it together yesterday. I had been mingling with guests and realised I hadn't eaten and in passing I said to the table where my father-in-law was sitting that i was hungry and was going to go an grab something to eat to which he replied "yes, no wonder you are looking fat". my little boy is 1 and I am well aware since having him and being diagnosed type 1 the weight is coming off very slowly, but my diabetic nurse was more than happy at last check (my hba1c is 5.4). I dont feel very confident all the time anymore and hate the things people cant see like the odd little bruise on tummy from injecting etc etc. I feel pathetic today because I cant stop crying. Its really upset me and to make matters worse no one seems to appreciate why. my own Mom even said well it wasn't a lie, you have put on weight, dont take it to heart. sometimes i just wish people appreciated and understood what its like. sorry for the random rant, I thought getting it off my chest might help me.
