My disabilities class had heard Beth Finke, diabetes since age 7, talk about being blind. My friend had been talking about his professor, the pirate Paul Sally, diabetic since 15 and called the pirate because of having had both legs amputated and because of wearing an eye patch (I assume the eye is also related to diabetes, but I don't know). The third person I knew I knew with diabetes was a kid who'd been in my elementary school and I only knew about her because the teachers had some sort of training about that. After I was diagnosed, I found out about other people in my life having diabetes. When I was diagnosed I kinda freaked partly because of who I knew with diabetes.
