[QUOTE="donnellysdogs, post: 340337, member: 17713"] I personally am T1.. And never really understood why people are worried whether they are t1 or t3... PersonallyI wld rather be T1 than T2...as I believe T 1 a lot more flexible snd less restriting nowadays than T2. I eat same as any other non diabetic person..i remain with hba of 6.6 and a size 10. I do not have to low carb or high carb.. Just whatever suits me.. Yep I eat meat and 6 veg for my dinners.. No potatoes... But when I do my job gardening I dont worry about hsving a jam doughnut once a week either...i dont think that now I'm on a pump that strangers sitting next to me in a restaurant would think I had D.... Why do people, especially non diabetic people see type 1 as significantly worse disease than type 2??. I will be a bit contentious here... But pretty much my thoughts.. I got type 1 through my genes. (not all) but a lot of people hinder themselves through their lifestyles and weight problems to get type 2... I would far rather blame my D on bad genes than bad lifestyle...i do know some type 2's are reslly heslthy, thin, sporty etc... But I do not know why people see T1 as a bigger issue... [/QUOTE]
