Is it well controlled? (impies that this is possible once you have sussed it out and got the perfect doses of insulin which as a type 1 is not possible)

Oooh do you have to inject?? (cue story of their needle phobia and how they couldn't be as 'brave'). I pump in my insulin so not much bravery is needed and the jabs were never the worst thing anyway.
 
Especially when I was a child;
"Of course you're not allowed that." "£$%!rrrrrr
Once I had become used to feeling better (aged 21 onwards);
"One chocolate won't do you any harm" Maybe one punch won't do them any harm?

I wasn't really annoyed. More relieved.
Situation: I told my old, and not-quite-so-sharp-anymore-dad a white lie about why I'd been in hospital for 5 days. I wanted to spare him the worry, and told him it was because of my diabetes, which he already knew about. I didn't want him to know about my lung embolisms.
His reaction: Ah, your diabetes ... That's not so serious.
Mission accomplished :happy:
 
"Have you tried losing weight/cinnamon/eating vegetarian/whatever? My grandma's best friends neighbors uncle did that, and now they don't have diabetes anymore."
When I ask them how that would regrow my beta-cells they usually shut up.
