[QUOTE="Smoggy, post: 1586334, member: 224706"] Having diabetes type 1 for 53 years, I was brought up in an environment where diabetes was rare so had the feeling of being different from an early age. I still hold this stigma but have developed over the years to be subtle and inconspicuous when testing and injecting. I have never been one for demonstrating my difference openly in public. I have seen others do this and feel almost jealous that I don’t have the bravado to perform these acts. [/QUOTE]
