Talking about being a diabetic

[Jacinta (Australian)]

Would she get the message if you asked her how all her ailments are doing?

Unfortunately not , she would talk about anything freely .

hello lovelies ,
I had a visit from my mother before and she asked how my diabetes was and I said fine but I don’t really want to mention it,she basically ripped my head off because it’s still a touchy subject for me , I know I have it but I just don’t like talking about it . I basically have it under control and what not but why is it still a touchy subject to talk about ?????

Hi Jacinta, your comments rang rather deep with me because I’m afraid I can also be an annoying Mum sometimes! It was good to read the other side, If I’m concerned about an issues affecting my daughter particularly I can be a bit intense. So, Jacinta I’m going to think about your comments and try to back off more when asked but it’s hard so please be aware that being ‘Mum’ doesn’t stop even when your baby is over 40
