Who is 'diabetic' in your life?



  • I am the 'diabetic'.
  • My spouse is the 'diabetic'.
  • My spouse and I are both diabetic.
  • I have a child who is diabetic.
  • I have a relative who is diabetic.
  • I have a friend who is diabetic.
  • I'm not diabetic nor do I know anyone who is diabetic.
  • Other. (Because I would be very surprised if I didn't forget something!)


You will be able to change your vote.

I used the term diabetic because of a lack of space to use all terms!

I'm the diabetic in our household. We also have a few friends who are diabetic and I have several co-workers (including the vice president co-owner of the company I work for) who are also diabetic. And my dad is probably 'pre-diabetic' or insulin resistant - his A1C was between 6 and 7 but his fasting glucose was good - he started watching his diet (especially carbs) and started back up exercising again and his A1C dropped down to 5.6 and his glucose is still good.

I voted "other" because I do not like to label myself as a diabetic. I prefer to see myself as a person with diabetes (along with some other conditions).
