Hi Brittany, sorry to hear about this tough time! It’s hard when people are not at all sensitive to what you are going through. The fact that this guy was so insensitive shows that he doesn’t know much about diabetes and he doesn’t get what it means for you.
I think that the most important thing that you can do is to educate people around you. But this can be tiring. I go in waves where I want to teach everyone about life with diabetes and times where I just don’t want to talk about it.
Use this community as your support-- people here get it!!! Then where you have the energy, you can educate the people around you and hopefully they will be more sensitive about it.
Diabetes is a lot easier when you know that you are not alone! You’re not! We’re here…
