It is interesting isnt it. T1s are getting support because they have to. T2s are being ignored because we just need to lose weight (and yes I know some dont). When is it ok to support 1 person with the disease and not another with the disease? Sometimes I feel like why am I not gaining the same knowledge that T1s are getting. Im left with nothing, no clue how my sugars are doing on a daily basis, (no meter given), no clue what foods to avoid (I never ate sugary foods) (no test strips) Eat well plate given - was that a joke?. Some how Im supposed to know how to get my diabetes under control. Most T2s are given the diet sheet and booklet and left to it. We have the same problems as T1s except they have to have insulin. Surely the same information should be given to both sets of people. We will suffer the same consequences that T1s have if we get the same complications through poor management. I just feel like Im being pushed to the side to degenerate without any clue of what Im supposed to do. At least I found this site and am now better informed and have bought my own testing equipment because its vital to see how your sugars are doing what ever type of diabetic you are.
