Have been a type two diabetic for three years. I am new to the diabetes board. My name is Christina. I have not been put in the hospital yet for my diabetes. Also what was your reaction when they told you where a diabetic? My reaction I was in shock and really upset with this. But I have gotten use to it now.

Hi Cheryl,


Thanks for your comments.


I'm pleased to see most people here seem to have a positive outlook with regards to their diabetes. It's other people who freak out more at the sight of the needles I produce every time I eat..... Poor things, I do feel sorry for them. For me, without those needles I would have been deprived of 20 years of my wonderful
