Dating for people with diabetes is quite different. Diabetics have an everyday fight to control blood sugar levels and to live a normal healthy life through healthy diet and habits, but with a potential partner, revealing that you are diabetic can be a sweat experience.
Dating with someone who does not know that you have diabetes can be burdensome rather than sweet and romantic. Your partner will wonder why you have some inhibitions in the kind of food you take, or the drinks you order, or wonder for the limited time you can spend.
When should you tell?
Some diabetics prefer not to tell their dates at first. However, they then realized they had to before their dates would think they are weird. The first priority is always taking care of yourself as a diabetic and the rest will just follow normally.
Some experience being hurt, especially when the potential partner shall not go on a second date anymore. At least, you know earlier that you are not meant for each other. If the person you are dating accepts you, he or she accepts the diabetes that goes with you too.
It is best to tell your potential partner earlier in fairness to you both. Do not worry. The right person will give you the right reaction. The person who can accept you as what you are will stick with you, and even provide help and support when you need it. At least there is no more to hide when you go on dating. That shall make your time together sweeter and more romantic.
The best person stays
Telling your date that you have diabetes might require proper timing which you should also consider.
When you reveal it, the person you are dating maybe shocked at first learning that you have diabetes but whatever his or her reaction, it is something that you already should anticipate and ready to accept. It is better if you can deal and handle it subtly and casually. If you seem not to be stressed, they will mostly be not stressed too.
Your diabetes will weed the bad ones. It helps you know that those who stick around are the best potential lifetime partners.
A girl with a diabetic boyfriend said that when her boyfriend told her he has diabetes, she understood him better and found the reason why he was sometimes shaking or have difficulty speaking. She still accepted him as what he is. Her advice? Do not be afraid to tell the person you are dating that you have diabetes. Love can make wonders.
Happy dating!
