[QUOTE="Mep, post: 1187842, member: 211362"] I can relate as I still have a hard time explaining that I'm on insulin because I'm insulin deficient. I keep getting referred to as a type 1 when I'm not. I also am not on insulin because I can't control with diet or meds... I'm on it because my pancreas isn't producing much at all. So I can understand what you're saying... even though I have a different type I get stereotyped often. I'm always having to correct people. I also notice that people that don't have the straight forward diabetic scenarios are not mentioned in a lot of publications. It's either you are type 1 and need insulin, or you are type 2 and need to change your diet and you may need meds to help. I often wonder how all the other types feel.... type 1.5 and 3c don't get a mention much at all. No wonder even medical staff are not aware... I think their training is too basic. [/QUOTE]
