[QUOTE="Replicant, post: 862125, member: 185048"] Hi Vintageutopia, I am not sure if your reply is directed to me or somebody else. Most of the people I have to explain my condition do not have the faintest idea between 1 and 2. So in some sort of way I think we are in the same boat. I did not know there is guilt associated with type 2, I have only studied type1 and skipped everything else. As far as I know you can do a lot to change the situation with type 2 with life style changes, even a complete cure. There is nothing you can do with type 1 except to adapt to the desease with insulin. I still do not understand why somebody should hide the diabetes from the family or friends.They should be your support network. If they are not, there is something wrong which has nothing to do with diabetes. [/QUOTE]
