We met on a dating site and when I explained that I have type-one diabetes and sometimes have seizures, he looked horrified.
He told me a mate of his really suffered with his diabetes.
I said my condition was manageable but I may not be able to have a child.
We got along well but I didn’t hear from him again.

Now a guy from work has asked me on a date but this guy made me feel so inadequate.
Should I go?

DEIDRE SAYS: Yes, of course. You do not need to lay out your life story on a first date.
Get to know one another first and see whether this relationship has legs.

If it does, you can start to tell your then-boyfriend about your condition.
It doesn’t have to be a deal-breaker if you find somebody who loves you, respects you and who isn’t fazed by a health condition.
