[QUOTE="Claire, post: 559, member: 1277"] I think diabetes was portrayed in the most positive possible light - which I agree might not quite be reality. On the other hand, being diabetic is not as bad as I had feared when the doctor told me (over the phone!!!). I started reading about the topic and all the injections and tests sounded awful, but they're really not as bad. Diabetes hasn't stopped me doing anything that I did before, although my blood sugar is always on my mind and that is a pain. I enjoyed the one show feature and thought it was quite educational as people don't seem to know much about diabetes. Had an unfortunate incident in the pub last weekend when I was given coke instead of diet coke and really didn't want a sugary drink for obvious reasons. Tried explaining why I didn't want a normal coke to the barmaid who did change the drink but made it clear she thought I was just making a fuss over nothing. Maybe more light-hearted education things like this might raise awareness? [/QUOTE]
