[QUOTE="Tophat1900, post: 1680548, member: 362123"] Maybe it's just a desire to want to be perceived as normal (Whatever that is), like everyone else and not be looked at as though you somehow have a weakness. Unless you have diabetes, people just don't understand what you give up, what you are capable of achieving and what strength it takes to just live a normal life each day. At times people seem to think they know your condition better then you do, what you should do and not do. Some days are easy and some are not. Maybe I'm just rambling and this makes no sense at all.
