[QUOTE="LooperCat, post: 1728784, member: 468055"] I’ve brushed it under the carpet for years, but part of my new leaf, with my change in diet and Libre is to make sure people I know understand it as far as it’s possible for a non diabetic to. Also, for my friends to look out for any symptoms in themselves - we’re all into middle age now, some are healthier than others and it’s always a thing to be conscious of. People have always been very positive when I’ve talked about diabetes things - and are always so surprised when they realise how involved the management of it can be, and that it affects us from head to toes. The common perception is that you just have to do insulin injections (calculating varying doses never occurs) and avoid sugar. But in return, I always try to learn about their health conditions too :) [/QUOTE]
