Type 1 diabetes rant :). ( revised title ). DIABETES RANT.

About 18 months ago, after being on my own for over a decade bringing up my child who is now a teen, I tried dating sites. These are a huge eye opener and a minefield at times. I tried a new site so I thought, out of curiosity, that I would say I had a medical condition in my profile, bad move, not one member, guys, got in touch. So I did remove it. Met a couple of members, one had a mother with type 2 and the other guy had type 2 himself, but nothing came of these meets.
A couple of months ago, I was messaging a reasonably pleasant guy, so again out of curiosity I said I have a medical condition, Type 1 diabetes. His response was :-
type 1, is that why you aren't sexually active and you can't get anyone ? My jaw dropped to the floor, I just couldn't believe what I was reading( even though by with holding the 'medical condition' on another site, I did get lots of messages). After a minute or so, I told him if he wanted to know what it was , then ask or Google it, but then told him where to go and to grow up and then deleted the crass moron. He seemed to think it was Aids/HIV related and a sexually transmitted condition, that just took the biscuit for me. I hid my profile on that site and didn't go back for about 6 weeks.

 

Pipp, because the OP is Type 1 herself and it's from her own experiences.

 

I hope this interesting thread can get back on track love and peace to all

 

OMG what a complete and utter pilak

 

Hi, yes he was and I did think (and also said to the screen) of many other words as well, but I couldn't repeat them on here lol

 

Robin. I think I dealt with this query about a month ago.


Oh, sorry, just read your next post. You want to get the thread back on track. So I don't understand why you resurrected a query from me that seemed to knock it off track and for which I explained was my intention to be inclusive?

 

Okay, I had missed your post that I just quoted earlier, that's all.

 

Just a line , rrb from what i have read and seen of your posts and experiences, i think you are a very nice lady, and although some experiences are not nice ,they are character building and you have a lovely onedon't worry rrb you will know true happiness

 

Thank you Mr Clive you are very kind, too kind and I seem to of had a lucky escape If you are out and about, drive safely

 

OMG RRB!!!!!! Didn't you have one helluva lucky escape there. What a total douchebag

Lol, Lesleywo quoted pilak and you quoted douchebag, I didn't even think of those words, but thanks, they are ace words x

 

Those are the polite ones

 

Actually the first adjective that came to mind began with F and ended with 'it' but I thought I'd better tone it right down!

I for one can understand that. But what I don't understand is your reference to my Aunt Bertha as she did not have Diabetes in fact what she did have was Scoliosis which meant she never grew much above four foot tall and had a life time of being singled out for ridicule. It is my Aunt Sylvia who has T2 diabetes which she actually got at 60 not 65.

No offence but I just thought I would clarify those few points.
