[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 2313030, member: 365308"] This is a good thread! Makes me glad not to be in the dating game anyhow as a bit of a ;/smug married' introverted type. I've always wondered why people feel it is an even an issue but that is because I am type 1 and haven't felt the stigma that goes with type 2 other than when someone assumes I am type 2 now that I am middle aged! I suppose for me diabetes is incidental and is a major part of my daily habits but isn't my identity so I don't feel the need to wear it on a tee shirt. I would not try to hide doing a test or ordering differently (meaning I will generally doge puddings and lots of pasta but sometimes will indulge and then it is nobody's business). If someone is curious enough to ask in a respectful manner then I'd take their interest to be a good sign of intelligence. If said person reveals that they are judgemental or lacks curiosity or is too self absorbed to even notice my name or the fact I am doing a blood test etc. then it is probably not going anywhere as a relationship.
