i understand, for me though, as i recall from almost 3 decades ago, my diabetes was spelled out to me as a debilitating weakness that will required dependence on others and medicine for the rest of my life. as a 19 year old, this description of it all did make me feel embarrassed to have the disease. for the longest time, i hid it from people outside my close circle because i did not want them to think i was weak in any way.
