New Friends Made

Today I met up with 2 new friends. One of them actually has the same condition as I am but he already lived with it for 13 years!
He was sharing with me how he manages his diabetes. I was very surprised but at the same time impressed with his "open-ness" to this condition. He told me he tests his sugar and even give himself injection in public! That is something which I really cannot make myself do it. I will usually hide myself in the toilet to inject. If the toilet is yucky, I have to endure it. This is something which I must learn from him but that will take a long time and lots of courage for me.
The reason why we met today is because of his dream. Another thing that impressed me is his dream and passion to create the public awareness of diabetes. He already have plans and I am there to support him with his plans, hopefully can contribute some ideas.
Also to mention, his friend whom I met today as well. He is also supportive of his dream (though he is not diabetic) and is helping him out to make his dream come true. What a true friend indeed. ^_^
