Diabetes doesn’t have to be a liability on the dating scene.
One blogger at tudiabetes.org divulges his secrets for diabetics navigating their first dates.
Remember, he says, the tools and treatments that have become second nature to you may be off-putting at first to the inexperienced. Be open, even make diabetes a conversation topic. Funny stories in particular can help break the ice.
Even if it slows things down, don’t let the date keep you from your regular treatment routine, he also counsels. When it’s time to take your medicine or eat, avoid postponements, and stick to your diet.
It also makes sense to keep a close watch on your sugars, since heightened levels can lead to irritability — a date spoiler for sure, he says.
