[QUOTE="Juicyj, post: 1058291, member: 53162"] I've managed to get my 'diabetes' conversation with mates down to a 1 minute update, I noticed that people's eyes would glaze over and before they started yawning i'd switch it to 'so what about you ?' conversation. Sadly unless you live with it, then it's hard to talk to others about unless they really express a huge amount of interest and then those friends I can normally wear out in 2 minutes. I personally remember the day I was diagnosed and the flood of information that came in and how quickly it wiped me out, I tend to view my friends like this that they can only absorb so much before it wipes them out. You are still a person though and a friend, you still have a life outside of type 1, this will never change, carry on as much as you can as normal, update those around you if you feel low or need to check your BG, close friends will never judge you or treat your differently, it's our own minds that make us feel different.
