Hi I'm new to these kinds of things. Lately I've been getting anxiety when a kid points out my pump at work. I feel ashamed of it and wish it wasn't there. I've had diabetes since I was five and know how to take care of it. It's the part when people notice it is what gets me. I'm scared to mention it to anyone even someone I would like to go out with because of the thought they might not like me because of it
