[QUOTE="lostsoul, post: 155711, member: 12470"] Treat your diabetes with the [b]respect[/b] it deserves-test in private and keep the results to yourself. If anyone asks, tell them nothing. They are not the T1. When outsiders ask for readings (friends and family), they turn into a pack of wolves and start telling you what not to eat and what to do with your insulin. Screw them! They have no idea what it is like to live as a T1 on a daily basis. It is forever! So, test in private, collect your own prescriptions, if possible and manage your readings between yourself and your diabetes specialist nurse. Non T1's can walk away without a care in the world, but T1's cannot.If they ask...say what is it to do with you? Testing in private, on the positive side, lets people know that you are in control and managing without there interference and added pressures to what you have to deal with daily.
