From my experience with other T2s (both in my family and at work...I know probably 25 of them), the majority of those I know personally don't find the idea of having "diabetes" a big deal, it doesn't affect their lives much at all...so they would NEVER think of posting to a forum such as this....most don't even test their blood sugars monthly and feel free to eat all they want, whenever they want. I'm known to them as the "obsessive" one. I've learned to keep quite and take care of myself....I only share information with forum members who request advice.
