It is not my case, but that of a lot of people with whom I find myself, either on the street or in the forums.
I don't understand how they treat themselves as beings who have to hide from others ...
If I remember, I remember a girl in the gym who hid how the sensor could not see.
By saying "you are a diabetic like me," he asked me not to tell anyone because in his country they discriminated and did not want the same to happen in Spain.
I have also read diabetic people saying that we should not inject insulin in public or in a place where someone sees us.According to them, we must hide ...
Others, who deserve all my respect, are those who, after years testing capillary glucose or injecting insulin into a separated place because they were educated, do not dare to normalize their situation.
There are people who do not even take the sensors of the sensors in public, according to them, for which they will say, much less are injected insulin or the capillary test with lancets and strips are done ...
There are more diabetic cases that get stones on their own roof, something that I personally do not understand.It is as if to take a paracetamol people hide.
A couple of days ago, on a trip to Toledo, in the Alcazar I saw a girl who was trembling and almost fell to the ground for a dizziness.I recognized symptoms that sounded to me familiar.
I approached and offered him help, I gave him glucose that he carried for an army, he accepted it and waited for him to recover.And now comes the good: by improving, he tells me "Please, don't tell my boyfriend, if you see me with him, I'm diabetic."
I told her that this was a warning and that there was a person who knew how to help her;If he didn't tell him, another day he could cost him expensive.
This girl is what has driven me to start this issue.I was personally like a month injecting myself in the bathroom, but I am not a stingy or a outcast and went to hide.
I do not go with a megaphone saying "I am diabetic and I puncture", but I am not ashamed and I take it naturally.To those who ask me, I don't have a hard time explaining that this gives me life, and whoever looks and puts faces ... you already imagine what your opinion cares.
Each person is a world, but it is not to hide.
And if someone bothers us that we take care of ourselves normally, that a little sensitivity is bought ...
Has anyone seen any case?
