[QUOTE="MattH892, post: 2289491, member: 514335"] Hi Everyone [emoji112] I got diagnosed with T1 just over a year ago and this forum has really helped me get to grips with everything. However I'm still in that period where I'm seeing people for the first time since being diagnosed and also when meeting new people, where I find it super awkward and embarrassing to talk about. I wear a libre which I think is brilliant but usually brings a lot of questions.. I'm just not overly comfortable talking about it yet. Im also a fairly slim guy and I'm so fed up already of people saying "you're so slim, how have you got diabetes" and having to explain everything [emoji85][emoji23]. I just wondered how other people deal with this situation, if the awkwardness ever disappears or you suddenly become confident in discussing it?? Appreciate any advice [emoji846] [/QUOTE]
