Hey i didnt read much of this, but i remember when i was scared to tell my boyfriend about my diabeties, and it turned out he acutally had an allergy that he never told me about.. kay, so we went out, just to the town to shop and such and i asked him if he thought he knew everyting about me, and he said i doubt it, and then he asked me and i said, i know for a fact your allergic to peanuts and he said how did you know that, and i said because before i date someone, i wanna know everything about them. it was funyn because after that i told him i had diabeties, and it turns out his little sister had diabeties as well. It was the most amazing thing in my entire life.. im still dating him too; we have so much in common <3
