cofeefan- Yes that makes perfect sense!! Happens to be that i was only diagnosed when I was 18 years old so at that point my parents felt it was best if we kept it just between our family.. a couple of reasons for this, firstly, for shidduchim! there is nothing “wrong” with me..its just a nisayon from hashem and there’s no reason that i only need to be redt to boys with “problems”. Secondly, because I wasnt a child anymore it was not imperitive that others know about the diabetes in case of emergency. When a young child is diagnosed its important for others to know in case something chas veshalom happens but i was already an adult- with hashems help i baruch hashem was never in a situation that anyone needed to know about my diabetes.!
So, basically boys dont know about my diabetes until i tell them (which i will only do after a third date iyh!)
