I’ve heard that only 5-10-% of diabetics are Type 1… so that probably explains a lot of that… I know A LOT of Type 2’s… but not Type 1’s except for this site and that’s why I was so excited.
…and you’re right! It does freaking suck I was really upset about it today actually!..reflecting on my recent dramatic hypo… All that you can do is do your best and keep pushing on… i’ve had mine for about 2 years, so I understand where you’re coming from. I honestly wish I had a Type 1 diabetic friend. There is a girl in my class that is a Type 1 diabetic and I only know because I “heard the sounds”(checking blood sugar finger prick-similar beeping sounds) & turned around because surely there couldn’t be a diabetic in my class!
But i’m down too, but it will go away…that’s what I look forward to. Just don’t let it consume you…
Man, not to be corny, but I LOVE this! So many similar feelings to mine! No one ever really understands.
It will :)… but wow, I remember the beginning stage of my journey in 2009. Honestly, it seems like forever ago since I didn’t have to think about everything I ate… or thought ahead before I go to work(packing snacks in case my sugar gets low)etc.
It really does grow you up though… so hey, there’s an upside.
