Just found a diabetic dating site for those who have expressed interest in the past. It's called DiabeticSingles.com.

Besides. if both of us go blind, who's gonna do the dishes?

this made me laugh so hard.
and seriously doubt my entire reasoning for searching "single diabetics"

Christian Singles? It sounds like a disease:)

I think you are thinking of "Christian Shingles"

What a great post "I'm curious as to know why there is a specific need for a diabetics single site? . . . "
I agree with you totally.

I have to agree with Chantale, as well just double the does of what I go through in a given day , or week, would be .... I dont know . I guess something I would have to consider. I think for the most part , that if you meet someone that is compassionate and caring they shoud be able to relate , and accept to what it is that we have... Although upon meeting a cute girl that is a Diabetic, I'm not discounting her as a result....
that really nice since you can make friends and see whos around you
I think there are pros and cons to everything.

when i first got diabetes i thought "no way would i want to date another diabetic, double the trouble" but now 26 years later and im older i think it may be nice. my life is different now. back then i was looking at someone who would be raising a family with me etc...(i never did get married so that never happened) now that im older and kids are out of the question, companionship is more important to me and diabetes would be a commonality. we would be great support for each other.

i dated one diabetic since ive had it and there were pros and cons as you can imagine. sometimes each of us were less compliant than the other which was a real pain sometimes but overall it was good and id do it again cause he was very supportive also.

as far as you who think people SHOULD be caring and supportive etc, im guessing you are most likely not having any diabetic complications yet! i have some severe ones and its not from a lack of taking care of myself and trust me... men dont stick around for a sick chick! I have had such a hard time. I think they all seem to be well intended but when reality hits its to overwhelming and they cant handle it. I know there is someone special out there for me... maybe hes diabetic, maybe hes not!?!

hi renka....i absolutely agree with u.....i am an Indian n its the same scene here...diabetics don't want diabetic partner for future generations sake....they keep on looking for non-diabetics to marry but fail....ultimately its too late...anyways i got married with a non-diabetic few years back but the results were disastrous...she just cudn't handle it and asked for Divorce.....we r separting now...and its rather more painful going thru such a phase in life....

Seems like having someone who shares the Big D might be a good idea. Why not? If you are single and lonely don't you reach out to others like you? Just saying?
Couldn't you give each other support in dealing w/the diabetes and complying? And exercising? and traveling w/D?

Yea, what the heck, you could even share needles !
