going out with friends

This post is about when you are out and about with friends and how it would be easier to handle and how to help you friends to understand a little better.

I have had two different experiences with going out with my own friends, one was a very bad because of the way I was treat and the other was ok but I just wish I explained it before it happened.

The first experience was when I was in a shopping centre with friends from my high school, we were looking around the shops and I did the wrong thing of not having anything to eat or drink, which was a bad idea as during walking around I went Hypo and they decided that because I was acting “stupid“ they left me and told me to handle it myself, I did tell them about myself and about what happens to me and that I will be fine after I have had the things I need.

The second experience was with my boyfriend it was ok but it took me to go Hypo and go my normal silly self for me to then explain what happens and tat I will be ok once I had some sugar of any kind and that it takes ten minutes to get into my system and bring me back up I will be ok. I decided that I would not tell him about what happens to me in case it put him off me and he got scared for me. After the event had happened he said that he was ok with it but he was thankful that I told him what happens.

As a result of both of these experiences I am now more aware of what I do and who I go out with shopping with and I am now very open with them about my Diabetes and told them that if they ever wanted to know anything they could just ask me and I would be happy to answer and I think that is the way it should be and if there is anything that you can not explain to them try to get your hands on some information about your Diabetes that you can give to them.

Finally I would like to apologise for my recent weeks of not writing on my blog, but I have been setting up a video blog, which will have videos of me doing thing to do with my diabetes this will start next Monday and will be a weekly event that will have the links on here to get to it or you can find it on Youtube.
