Dude its actually not that easy how people have explained, i have suffered embarrassment and rejection many a times when i tried this policy of honesty.

However i m still following the same policy but with a broken confidence and courage.

O hon, find another set of girls. maybe even friends in general to to be around. I am always up front about my diabetes, and if the guy does not choose to be around me because I am diabetic.. then Poof!!! His " N.O. ( NO)" to me means get ready for the " NEXT OPPORTUNITY". You are young.As you mature and become more confident in who You are, diabetes and all parts of you..You are complete and wonderful; You will not take these so called rejections as confidence breakers. There is always the next opportunity. Believe that.

God Bless,

This is a great way of thinking!! This just put a nice positive note in my day!
Usually when meeting new people, within some time I am testing to check in, so it naturally comes up. I have to say I have only experienced a cold D shoulder once, What I seem to get more of is " yeah, my grandma has that".... well that is nice..lol

Diabetes is nothing to be ashamed of, especially not on a first or second date. I have had a few cold shoulders which shook my confidence, but then I was like, "Hey! I'm not just a diabetic! I'm lots of other fantastic things and if you don't want one aspect of my life, then you don't deserve the rest."

I'm so calm and confident to tell poeple I am diabetic these days. After several scenerios I realise that poeple are fascinated by your diabetic story. They keep wondering how possible it is for you not to take chocolate sweet, biscuit, drink a soft drink and not eating carbs atall. They wants you to tell them how you avoid sugar and sweet things. So, I eventually feel there is nothing to be ashamed about in telling anybody. I want to encourage you all to keep spreading the news, you might be saving a life by using yourself as an example. Thank you all
