[QUOTE="Cloe-1992, post: 561959, member: 111833"] Hi jelaca :) . When I was a bit younger I felt the exact same , was conscious of people knowing and what people would think . But as I have got older and was in my teens it's all different . I was diagnosed at 7 , I'm now 22 . I was nervous when I started meeting my partner , didn't know how to tell him or how he would take it . So I didn't for three days then got further , and thought if I'm going to be with him , he needs to know , so I just came out with it . Best thing I have ever done , were now engaged , been together four years , and we are planning to have a baby . His very understanding and knows just as much as I do about my diabetes . But my point is , I think if the important people know and care about you that is all that matters , I am not a confident person , but I am now when it comes to my diabetes , it's my diabetes no ones else , so if they don't like it or make funny comments , then that's their sad life , and they have to deal with being that low . As long as you are happy and happy with your diabetes . Don't worry about what others think . It's you that counts your the one dealing with it , and the people that care about you won't mind about the diabetes . I hope this helps if it doesn't I'm sorry I rambled on haha . Take care :):):) [/QUOTE]
