[QUOTE="Luna21, post: 461957"] Perhaps some come on here to 'moan' if you want to call it that, as they can allow their frustrations, anger, and other issues to be shared with others who know what they are going through, rather than bore friends or family with diabetes talk all the time? I know I do! I'm a very positive person, and I do have other health issues but I do feel that sometimes just sharing your experiences, not necessarily moaning, can be so beneficial. There is such a lot of good advice on here from seasoned members and no man or woman is an island. Yes, agreed there are some who seem to want their diabetes to be classified as an illness which would help them secure social benefits - however I do think that these folks are few and far between. The majority of us, I think, want to carry on with as normal a life as possible, but being able to come on here and let off steam, laugh, cry, ask for advice, or whatever in the knowledge that we are assured a warm welcome and a non-judgemental stance. I certainly would not have been able to get my diabetes under control without the fine people on here. [/QUOTE]
