Firstly sorry sorry sorry to everyone for a huge (and somewhat uncharacteristic) rant. As everyone knows by now I'm type 3C, it very rare and to be quite frank a particularly nasty, hard to control, brittle form of diabetes. There are a few of us in this forum, and there are also quite a few participants that have concerns that they may have type 3C. Recently the forum granted us a sub forum if our own and I was absolutely chuffed to bits! Up til now, I've accessed the type 1and 2 discussions, and you have all been fantastic but I often feel I take a lot but have little to give as my type of diabetes is so different.
Tonight however, diabetes.co.UK posted on Facebook and chose type 3C as its theme. Heading "Is anyone else type 3", then " join in the discussion "type 3C how many are we". Maybe I'm being petty BUT type 3 and 3C are two completely different types of diabetes, and my expectation is that one if the biggest diabetes support organisations/forums should know that!
I just hope as a result that people don't go off 'googling' and scare themselves half to death. The whole point if this forum to me us that we can swap research, information and experience, and support each other.
Sorry again for the rant, I think I need a forum holiday.....
