- Insulin :(
So went on first "date" well to be honest it was spoons mid day on a Sunday. So met up everything was going incredibly well until lunch arrived! Still getting used to it only my 2nds meal out since being diagnosed but every T1 I have met and asked as always said to me not to skulk of to do insulin as hiding it will do nothing to help me accept that I am T1. Obviously didn't broadcast the fact but did not hide it either anyway. Mention that if we went out id have to take my insulin with me and the like to which they were fine with. Second I went to put needle on the pen she freaked made the biggest scene in the middle of spoons not the best confidence boost for anyone just diagnosed T1. Finished our food and parted company needless to say wont be seeing her again. Not sure what the issue was as other than ewwws and squeeling she didn't really explain herself.
Was wondering what other peoples experiences of introducing others to there diabetes was. Currently having mega issues with friends either freaking out or treating me like I am made of glass its really not helping me acclimatize but I refuse to hide the fact I am diabetic from people to be treated normally
