[QUOTE="Nicole T, post: 2300877, member: 527609"] I'm finding the opposite problem: trying not to be a bore about it to people who don't have it. Then again, I've flounced out of much more difficult closets than this one. It's a common enough condition for most people to find it relatable, if not themselves, then through someone they know reasonably well. I've gone totally low-carb evangelist. My Facebook feed now has meter readings, details of what tasty (non-damaging) things I've cooked or eaten during the day, and most recently, the wrestling match I've had trying to change the belt on the bread maker. And I'm finding one or two diabetic friends are periodically engaging with me over it. But then I genuinely don't mind talking about it. Perhaps it'd be different if I did. My mum had Type 2 and was very matter of fact about it. Not an ounce of shame. It was just a condition that she developed as she got older, and that's how the family treated it. [/QUOTE]
