A member asked:

How difficult is it to live with a diabetic or have a relationship with one.?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Normal: If they take care of themselves and manage their diabetes properly, it's no different than anyone else with a chronic medical problem that needs daily attention. With proper preparation you can easily lead a totally normal life. By the way, they're not a "diabetic", since they're not a disease. They are a "person, with diabetes".
