[QUOTE="Pinkorchid, post: 2080940, member: 166283"] Yes it is tough being diagnosed with diabetes when young but does not mean you have to be so different to your friends You can still do everything you did together before diabetes that does not change and will not stop you doing whatever you enjoyed doing The only difference now is what you eat when you eat out you can still go to whatever places that students do go to all it will mean to your friends is that you are having a low carb option not unusual for lots of people now not just diabetics it is no big deal. Burger King will be happy to serve you a burger without the bun and salad instead of chips same with McDonalds, Nando's is good because it is grilled chicken just leave out the chips have salad or one of the low carb sides. I used to only eat the topping on pizza's and leave the base because I didn't like it and that was before I had diabetes my friends thought that was strange ..my daughters friend who was a vegetarian would go into McDonalds and ask for a Big Mac without the burger they would be a bit puzzled because vegetarians did not usually go in there but she got the bun with just salad .Having diabetes does not mean you change as a person and can never enjoy yourself or eat out again food does not make you different we all have our food choices diabetic or not. You say you find it hard telling friends you have diabetes would you find it hard telling them if you had decided to become a vegetarian or vegan I don't think you would diabetes is no different it does not change the friend you are Enjoy your student days they go to soon then you have to become a responsible adult [/QUOTE]
