[QUOTE="Prem51, post: 1053386, member: 209498"] @Abzio_Cappucino When I was first diagnosed my diabetes was on my mind all the time, and I told everyone I met about it. But I soon realised that most people who don't have it seem to think that it is diabetics fault that they have the condition through 'lifestyle choices' and eating too much, and they don't really want to know too much about it. There are exceptions of course, usually people who have diabetics in their family and know they might become diabetic too. Now I don't tell people, though sometimes I have to explain that I will only have a half pint of beer instead of a pint because I am diabetic, and beer contains carbs, or I can't eat certain things when I'm out for a meal. But you can talk to people on here who do understand and are supportive. [/QUOTE]
