I was asked to come up with my personal definition of trust, and while giving it some thought I went immediately to diabetes. While trust plays a role in all aspects of my life, I thought about trusting someone with my diabetes – and that is not easy for me. What I discovered is that for me trust is peace. That may be a cop out definition, but it’s what I felt in my gut when I thought of the few people I would trust to take care of me diabetes-wise. The opposite of trust, for me, causes a knotted up, uncomfortable feeling in my gut – not peaceful at all.
How would you define trust?
