It's interesting to see how far we've come as a society in being able to talk openly and wear whatever-it-may-be on our sleeves like we do. It was discouraged when I was a kid, after being diagnosed at 5. Sharing it just wasn't normal; D was my own thing to deal with. Of course, that was NOTHING compared to what my mom (dx'd at age five in 58) went through. You look at stories like Elizabeth Hughes Gossett actively hid her diabetes and would even deny it, just to be "normal." The changes we've seen are interesting, scary, and inspiring all at the same time. And it does wonders to know that we can be accepted for who we are, and not have to hide any part of ourselves.
