[QUOTE="ney88, post: 412154, member: 79358"] I know how you feel with friends like that. When i got diagnosed all my 'friends' did not want anything to do with me. They thought that diabetes was a disease you can catch. I remember giving out christmas cards, and they threw it back at me because I had touched it. I ended up moving country ( I know that seems like an overreaction, but there were other factors to moving country) and met good friends who went out of their way to find out what happens when i go into hypo and understand the differences with the types of diabetes. Now when I meet new people, I just say i'm diabetic, explain what it is and be open about questions that they may have. [/QUOTE]
