[QUOTE="jakejayeden, post: 1053164, member: 194472"] It may be that these people are unsure on how they can communicate with yourself on such. As they do not have any primary experience with Diabetes, it can be difficult for them to empathise or understand how you feel regarding it, some aspects of what you say regarding (Blood Glucose levels, ketones, Clinic stuff etc.). Another feeling is that maybe they feel they have nothing to add regarding the topic (referring to an earlier point I made regarding empathy). I'm not saying they don't care, and nor would I suspect them to, it's just that indifference it what makes them feel that if they do add something to the conversation, they may say something that could be incorrect or inconsiderate if taken the wrong way.
