[QUOTE="NinaB73, post: 1354253, member: 170820"] When I was about 14 my cookery teacher told the entire class you got diabetes because you were overweight, this was in the 1980's, I wanted to shrink as all my classmates knew I was diabetic and all looked around 'as they do' (I was a very skinny teenager so at least that helped with my shame!), I told my mum when I got home as I was so upset, I was a very shy youngster and tried my hardest to hide from my diabetes. My mum told my diabetic nurse (whom was an amazing woman) she was so annoyed that she went into the school in order to 're-educate' them!! At the time I could of died but thinking back someone obviously saw the injustice in it! [/QUOTE]
