[QUOTE="rhubarb73, post: 1818937, member: 478319"] 6 weeks ago I was one of the ignorant people and might have said something silly myself if I got talking to a diabetic. But I’ve never heard anyone say “I have type 2” out loud. Now I’m one of the educated ones struggling with telling people about it, because I’m nervous about the stigma and angry about the diagnosis and not ready to deal with all these questions. So far only 3 people and my healthcare team know. The silliest thing one of the 3 has said (about blood testing): “i think you like having a new gadget to play with”. I like this thread a lot. It might make it easier. [/QUOTE]
