Is there discrimination against people with diabetes?

I have read that there are even those who fall badly because they are diabetic ... If someone falls badly because I have diabetes, I'm glad it is so, I don't want to have contact with such people.

I punctu

I have never hidden or minced to click or look at my glucose.
Now it happens to me that if I get repair because I feel pointed out when wearing the sensor.In 2014 I put it for the first time and had no problem, but this summer I try not to see or look as little as possible.I think it's because now everyone knows what it is and I don't like it to see or hear certain words.
I imagine it will happen.
The other day in a supermarket my husband tells me almost brilliant: look, look, look !! (pointing to a girl).What a fright gave me, when I realized that it was what I wanted to look, I told him that it was not necessary to point to anyone.Joe, I get angry with everything.I have been 21 years!

Hahaha ... my boy every time he sees a sensor in someone tells me:
"Look at one from your club"

It is not seen in the buttock, but on the beach I have seen many, even in the subway or bus.They carry it in the arm, and with the short sleeve.

Do not hide it, nor put a luminous neon to the sensor, it is an exclusive club partner card.
I know there are already athletes who use them without being diabetics to control their training in every detail.
In my gym there is a cycling that uses them for the cycles of fat loss and definition.
I almost always carry them in my left arm, since in the right it does not hurt to function any.

I punctuate even on the sidewalk if I remember in the middle of the street ... the only "shame" that I have is that they see me the Michelin: D

That becoming bad to someone to wear a sensor, or be diabetic, I had never heard it, but as many are not surprising.

Each one must decide how they want to live.When I was young:-) (Time of the twenty), I used to prick (syringe) in public when I didn't want to have people next to each other.Now with the bolis (it seems more cool) depending with whoever is, I put directly or go to the bathroom.There are people with whom I wouldn't feel like talking about this subject.
Regarding the sensor like blood, I do it directly.I've been 41 years and one understands is enough

Shame of being diabetic?That reminds me of an individual who was punctured this Sunday at noon in a well -known beer in the center of Madrid, regardless of him that two or three diners saw him.And as expected, nobody told me anything.

I do not like that they sympathize, nor do they think that I have a disease and that I am not like them.There are also people who have an absolute ignorance about KO who is diabetes, so I am not going out there.

Seriously, you think that what everyone does that knows about your diabetes is "pity", and then whoever has cancer or some incurable disease, we make an altar and put offerings while we pray.

We have a disease and we are like all or even better.With patience and knowing how to control it, it is best possible, it is not contagious, the fear they will say if it is.

I do not go with a megaphone by saying diabetic, it will be click or do glucose test .... LOON ALLSSSSS ........

But I'm not going to hide, or ashamed.My illness is not by having blinded myself or clicking in groups, etc .....

I did not hide when I was going to chemotherapy, or when I was full of cardinals for having had a kick fight, and then I had a bad face.

There are very much more serious diseases or syndromes of diabetes, and they have every right to be respected, ours after all is quite controllable, there are few who do not know what to do with them and their hyper and hypos.

There will always be those who hide and those who take a step forward, I consider my face and as such, anyone who wants me to exclude me from any site or activity will have me in front of me.If you want an explanation, I will give it to you.And if not, I will send him to "San Google" ..... Look for DM1 ...

Only once I have heard the "what a shame", and I replied without cutting a hair.And when they have looked at me I look at them and tell them something, which varies according to the day ..... and I answer surely.From a you want to be the first to a not the heroine that you get, but it is first insulin ... Do you want?

Anyway, whoever wants a coffee by Madrid or South, to let him know, and we will chat.

I don't know what country you live in.But at least here in Spain, nor I, no one who has seen, has ever felt ashamed for being diabetic.Moreover, you comment and it is like the one who says that he has high tension, or the one with a back problem ... in short, a health problem like many others.

Well, I must live in a parallel Spain, since not only on the street but also here for the comments of the people, there are many who feel ashamed and even afraid that they are known that they are diabetic, for fear ofBeing rejected by many people who get bored.

Even in the endocrine I have spoken with people who have come to think about committing suicide and when hearing it they have left me quite thoughtful.

There are people who get long -sleeved in summer so that the sensors are not seen, and even some who have stopped bathing on the beach or sunbathing so that they do not notice.

I am not going to tell you things that have told me, but experiences of my life, as others have done.At the beginning of being in the gym I see a girl with a sensor and I say, you are a diabetic, he asks me with a scare face that does not tell anyone, who does not want to know and lower the manga.Recently in the gym too, a kid tells me, I don't know how you let the sensor look, that they will think ,,,,The girl who serves me tells me you are diabetic like my sister but she is ashamed to be known, for which they will say ... my neighbor in internsIn hidden so that they do not treat her like a weirdo ..... there are more than if you want the next post I tell you, and that had a year and a half alone.

In a WhatsApp group for diabetics that was at the beginning of starting with the DM1, it was rare was the case of someone who would have ever felt shame or rejected for carrying their diabetes with transparency and not hiding.I left because there was a bad vibes with the administrator in ultraiz left plan.

There are people who like to know, and when you talk about diabetes, you see everything, there are those who have told me that they understand it and people who do not even understand that it is the DM1.

It is that those experiences that tell me contrast tremendously with the reality that I have lived since I was diagnosed with diabetes twenty years ago.Eye, I am not saying that they are not true.It's just that they collide a lot.

I in the gym regarding the sensor, as they have asked me curious because they did not know what it was and little else.

In my work everyone knows.If the subject comes out in any other context, I speak of it without problems and no one has ever shown me rejection, nor pity or have treated me differently.It is like who speaks of any other chronic disease.

And the same goes for the diabetic people I know.They are not proclaiming it with a speaker, but neither do they hide it, nor do they feel shame or anything similar.When in some social event I have been offered a cake and I have rejected it, as I have been asking if I was on diet, I have told them that I could not because of the diabetes issue, and at most, they have apologized telling me that for theNext they would try to bring something without sugar.

I already tell you, in twenty years, no case of rejection, or different treatment, and that a part of my life in a town in Andalusia.

The gym for me has been the opposite, they don't ask me out of curiosity, they put strange faces and move away .... hahaha.I don't understand it, it's as if they were afraid of the sensor.At least those who realized that they saw it, and what is of receipt is the face of others when I put an insulin bolus, either in thechanging rooms or next to the box office that touches me.
I am from a town in Andalusia, and when I was diagnosed with DM2, who was knowing it used to tell me, that for drinking so much Coca-Cola or for eating sweets in plan you are guilty.At that time neither I had an idea that it was diabetes, and why I had touched me.I had been badly diagnosed for years, I was in the beginning, when I still had some operational pancreas.

I tapo the sensor and I am not saying that I am diabetic.I am not ashamed to be, but expressing it does not help me at all.I do not feel like having to be answering and explaining it every time they ask me what you are doing there.

He who does not want, not to look.

There are worse things that we socialize in some way such as enduring the regeaton at full volume in the streets, squares, subway, beaches ... crimes in ethyl coma lying on the sidewalks, public toilets full of coca, ... in short ...

Circulating and concise, hahahaha, in the WC we can find so many things that best not to enroll them that we would have the round of a two three, with respect to the reggaeton I agree, especially when I have neighbors of the most lost places in America with their tribal music.
In the buffet of La Gavia a guy told me that if I gave him some morphine when he saw me click, to freak out that the uncle would be thinking.
The looks in the gym are the funny cane, I want to tell more than one@ that I think I am puncturing myself ..... there are those who have asked me insulin feathers without being diabetic to prick.

Haha they ask me for the pen and give it the fast with 40 units and I tell him to put them.A less idiot

A few days ago a gym monitor tells me that a diabetic had become very bad after putting insulin, asked one of those who are always training there and told me that it had been a decrease in one that puts insulin to go up to climbvolume ..... without being diabetic.
That is a shame, play life like this ......

And the insulin theme as you carry it.

@_Tacker_ I seem incredible to me the things you tell, it is not that I do not believe them, I think there are people without judgment, irresponsible and exploited with human misery.
I see many diabetics up to date, walking with their air sensors, without any protection, in my arms and bite my tongue because in one of these, zasca, they go and hit or arrives funny and starts it.

What has surprised me most was last week when I picked up my needles and the nurse told me that it has had to return a lot of sensors because patients had been gathering without picking them up !!!It had a list of 3 leaves to two pages full of people receiving sensors and more or more or less about 10 did not collect their material.From the FJD they told him that they were taken from the program.

is not my case, but if that of many people with whom I find it well on the street or by the forums, and I do not understand how they treat themselves as beings as beingsthat have to hide from others .......

If I remember, I have seen a girl in the gym who hid how the sensor could not see it, and when you say you are diabetic like me, it asks me not to tell anyone that in their country they discriminated against it and does not want me to want me toPass in Spain.

I have also read people who, being diabetic, say we should not prick insulin in public or in a place that someone sees us.That we have to hide ...

Others who deserve all my respect are those who have been capillaries so many years or putting insulin in a set left because they have educated them, who do not dare to normalize their situation.

There are people who neither take the sensors readings in public, according to them for which they will say and even less prick insulin or take the capillary with the lancet and strips ......

There are more diabetic cases by pulling stones at their roof and that I personally do not understand, it is like thinking that to take a paracetamol people hide and to get coca they did it in the middle of Burguer King.

A couple of days ago on a trip to Toledo, in El Alcázar I see a girl who were shaking her hands and almost fell to the ground for a dizziness, I recognized some symptoms that sounded known to me, I approached and gave her help, I gave her glucoseThat he took for an army, he accepted and waited for him to recover, and now the good comes, when improving and tells me, "please don't tell my boyfriend if you see me with which I am a diabetic ..."I said, this is a notice and there was a person who knew how to help you, if you don't tell him, another day could cost you expensive .....

This girl is what made me start this issue, I personally were like a month by clicking on the bathroom, but I am not a stingy or a pariaBut I am not ashamed and he took it naturally, to whom I ask me, it is not difficult for me to explain what life gives me, and who I looked and put faces .... You already imagine what matters to me his opinion.

Each person is a world, but it is not to hide, and if someone bothers us that we take care of us normally that a little sensitivity is bought ....

I only go to the bathroom, I put the slow pq in the buttock and do not cool that they see my ass, the truth, but the rest does not matter to me ..
I also have the sensor in the buttock because I find it more comfortable because I don't know it hooks me like in the arm but nothing more.
Yes q with a tight skirt or dress, it shows and is regular but the same as in your arm if you have a wedding and you get ready, but that is another topic.

I just returned from vacation and I have seen many many sensors.It seems very good that the disease is normal and that people are aware that we are many.If type 2 diabetics also prescribed the sensor, how many people the disease affects could be verified.

I have always punctured in public and when I needed it.In restaurants I leave the reader and insulin at the table.If there is a friend of a friend who does not know me, I explain that I am going to click on the abdomen, that it will not even see it (I usually cover the table), but that if it gives it a thing to imagine it, to tell me becauseI can do it in the bathroom.I have never met someone to tell me to do it elsewhere.Moreover, I usually show the needle because many times the imagination plays more than what it really is.Almost nobody sees her, they frown to appreciate her.I think that in general you think more about the heparin needle that is much longer.

If I wear a dress and I have no choice but in my arm, I turn a little, but I really think we do it very fast.In the street I have punctured many times.I stop, I put myself against the wall and do it.Even in the subway being sitting and with people in front.I put my bag in front and proceed.

In Pilates everyone sees the sensor and some ask.There is always the doubt of whether I'm quitting smoking.To all of the class I have explained that it has some alarms (La Alta La Quito) and that if it sounds it is that I have to stop and drink glucose.And when it happens, both the teacher and the students continue with the class and I do the exercises again when I see it convenient.And so, I think, it is how things are normalized, without hiding it and giving the necessary explanations.

When I am also at class, I also remove the high alarm, never the low one.He has ever sounded.I have spent the reader naturally and according to the value I saw or I have continued to give the class or have stopped and said "I have to take glucose, now I continue."And that's it.Thanks to that attitude, some student has told me "teacher, she is sounding to you" and see how good that I will let me know because I do not always have a pocket to keep it, I leave it in my bag and I move a lot through the classroom and how I put it inVibrator, I don't always hear it.

I also suppose, as you have pointed out some, that this attitude of mine is due to my age (my beginning was a month before 50. Take gift!) And that I have a job that they will not discriminate against me for having DM1.And that's why I think it's a disease that should be seen.Do not fly a flag, but I do live it with the naturalness that you need to have to click when you need it.

Some type 2 are already being financed and the MTO will also come to all those who want.
