[QUOTE="cugila, post: 111045, member: 15325"] Hi Dippy. I think you need to be open with everybody. Family, friends, workmates etc. You have nothing to be ashamed of, you have Diabetes. It's an illness that's all. You are not a leper, an outcast. You didn't ask for it, you just have it. I've been a Diabetic for 12 years and never in all that time have I hidden anything from anybody. I was obese, a BMI of close to 40 ! That was in January. I now have a BMI of 28.9....no longer obese, just overweight....a little further to go to MY ideal weight. I don't care who knows the numbers, it gives me satisfaction to let people know how I have done and I try to encourage others to do the same. Stop them making the same mistakes as me. You have already said that you feel better getting it off your chest....well it certainly does. Open and honest with everybody. That's a good start, now just build on that. We can help you, advise you, even support you in the tough times. It does get better.....honestly ! [/QUOTE]
