Hi Aimee
Why would your friends dislike you because of your diabetes? It seems a weird reason to me, maybe they weren't such great friends in the first place.
Welcome to the group, there are plenty of nice people here, feel free to ask any questions or ask for support.

Hey sweetie, i had a lot of trouble with anger and depression which i realised were because of my high blood sugars and that caused me to be snappy to my friends and family but now i am getting there with my sugars i am much calmer so maybe if they didn't understand then as Lizzie says maybe they weren't so good after all, you can always chat to us on here or private message anyone xx

Hi ya, I am new to this site and already I am finding it very helpful, I see that others go through the same things and feel the same way or very similar anyway. I hope you start to feel better very soon.

Hi aimee, you've just found over 800 friends here who understand and will do their best to help you and answer any questions you might have. Welcome🙂
Seconded Northerner.
Aimee,
You've found a network of people who will always listen and understand you. We know exactly where you are coming from.
If you want to chat to me send me a private message with an MSN and I'm more than happy to talk.
Don't be afraid to ask anything on these boards.

hi aimee
I have to agree with what others have said, if your friends don't like you because of diabetes then maybe they're not the people you want to be friends with. Easy of course for us to say I guess! When I was diagnosed I had a couple of friends who seemed to avoid me for a while, but it was more that they didn't understand and were scared that they wouldn't know what to do if I had a hypo for example, or think they couldn't eat in front if me etc. Maybe talk to your friends and try to find out what the issue is as maybe it's something silly like that?
Welcome to the boards, I'm sure you'll get a lot out of them both in managing the diabetes and just general chat, have a look round the boards and don't be afraid to ask any questions.
Have you been diagnosed long?
Amy
