[QUOTE="s-s-i-i-c-c-k-k, post: 562448, member: 112373"] When I was first diagnosed, I didn't really feel ashamed of testing and injecting in front of my closest friends. My long-term boyfriend also was really interested in studying diabetes and this is how we started talking. However, as time passed, I noticed a lot of people keep asking the usual questions when they see me injecting. You know, "does it hurt?", "I couldn't do it!". I even got asked how many years I have left to live. All these things made me keep everything more hidden than usual. They also hurt a tad, but thanks to my boyfriend I could easily go through everything. I think you need to share your diabetic habits with people, but only with those who you are sure would understand. It is perfectly normal to be scared of their reaction, but I wish you good luck in finding the nicest ones soon ^^ [/QUOTE]
