They always associate Diabetes with the easily manageable Type 2, and never associate Type 1 with something that people live with for their whole lives. My husband has Type 1, and it always surprises me that people don't know the extent of it. Why is it such a secret?Lauren @ Every Last Detailhttp://everylastdetailblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9175362385039466640.post-54491038885525414802010-03-06T19:37:26.604-05:002010-03-06T19:37:26.604-05:00Very well said K2.Very well said K2.Scott K.

They were CLUELESS as to how to treat a Type 1 as they are used to Type 2's. Couldn't figure out why I wanted to test my own BG's (they were doing it right in the nerve centre of the finger tip and only once in a blue moon - HOWL). To top it off I had to argue with them to take me off the drip, so I could inject my own insulin as they felt my BG's were alright (they were high). There was only one nurse who understood Type 1 diabetes - and who could speak English well. She was my saviour when she had the time to drop by and ask me more about Type 1 diabetes.FatCatAnnahttp://www.diabetes1.org/blogs/Annas_Blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9175362385039466640.post-49728958476612302112010-02-16T13:57:14.841-05:002010-02-16T13:57:14.841-05:00this reminds me of when i was diagnosed and in the...this reminds me of when i was diagnosed and in the hospitals. staff kept coming around to see me... i found out later it was because they'd all met type 2 diabetics (they hadn't realized type 1.5 back then), but they'd never seen a type 1. so, i was like the circus freak that everyone wanted to meet... as if being 15 and recently diagnosed with a chronic illness was enough to make me feel different... at the very least, though, it made me more mindful of how i react to other people's stories.Virtuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00537029766728534734noreply@blogger.com
