So I have a new girlfriend who also has Type one diabetes!, pretty interesting stuff haha.
How many of you have a relationship with another diabetic?
wow! did you meet through some diabetes related event? or at something completely separate and she just HAPPENED to also be type 1? Because if it is the latter, what a coincidence!
nope but I was friends with a guy who was diagnosed as T1. that was 10 years ago.
I have 2 type 2 friends. Have known them since 1992. I don’t think they really get what I go through and vice versa.
my husband is type 2
Danny, please release your blogs!
hey kenny, wow thats cool should be a real interesting time for you both. I would like to date a woman with type 1 we would have so much in common right of the bat lol. good luck to the both of you…steve
Me!! In high school I would bump into the same cutie everyday for testing before lunch in the nurse’s office, and we dated for 4 months! It was cute- I never had to explain what “low” really meant, but it also meant that I couldn’t milk my diabetes more, 
I’ve had relationships with several diabetics, let’s see. First there was my aunt, a Type 1, my grandmother, a Type 2, a Type 2 cousin or 3, a 3rd cousin Type 1. Then of course, though I never had a chance to meet him, was my great grandfather, a Type 2. Of course he died at age 75 after 25 years with diabetes ~1926 and I wasn’t born until 1950. He had his OWN treatment for is some 15 years before the doctors did. He was definitely the patriarch of this bunch of diabetics.
My Mom is diabetic…several aunts and uncles are too. So is my Grandfather (mother side) is also diabetic…
Kenny,
Cool! Wishing you lots of shared fun with the new lady in your life.
I do, been together nearly 10 years

Nope…not at all. Plus I’m the only diabetic in my family…even in extended family. I don’t know how I got so lucky!!!
omg!!! lucky!!! i wish i had a boyfriend with type 1. that’s my ultimate dream. to marry someone who knows.
My first kiss was a girl at diabetes camp many, many summers ago.
Since then, no, I have never dated someone else with diabetes. The opportunity never presented itself (and uh, I’m married now) but I don’t know if I would have. While it would have been a novelty to not have to explain things and to have all the frustrations with diabetes in common, I know that I am a moody pain in the butt and diabetes is partially to blame. Women are half-crazy anyway, and type 1 diabetes would push a female over the edge.
I give it about 6 months, Kenny, and you’ll post back here and say, yeah, you were right. She was nuts and diabetes didn’t help.
OMG I’m SOOOOO jealous… nope never had a relationship… but did hook up with another type 1. That was pretty cool. We like checked our sugars and took our shots together… It was really comforting…
Never… always alone… Maybe I met some diabetics but they didn’t tell me about diabetes.
Wow Greg, you’re suddenly kind of a hero for me…
Relax, Sophie. So long as you aren’t psycho and can fit into a pair of jeans you needn’t worry.
a bit uncalled for maybe? jumping to conclusions and stereotyping?
not cool.
