[QUOTE="TypeZero., post: 2279456, member: 525950"] Hi, I, in no shape or form, see T2D as a milder or “better” disease because at least T1s can inject and bring down the BG but T2s can struggle with severe insulin resistance and despite injecting units upon units their BG refuses to come down. However the T2s in my family are all insulin-independent apart from 1 person. The rest manage it by diet alone so I kind of understand why people struggle to understand T1D because they think all diabetics can get away with eating healthy and exercising. I’m not embarrassed by my disease. I don’t even care about injecting in the middle of a supermarket I just want to dispel myths about me causing it because I ate too much and that I can cure it with cinnamon and eating healthier. I think from now on it’s best to hide my diabetes I guess because I’m getting too much unwanted attention but it’s difficult because things spread like wildfire in my family, if you tell 2 people something the whole village knows it. I lost count on the number of people calling my mum to say “hope he gets well soon”. I think my parents made the situation worse by telling my grandparents who basically told everyone they ever knew [/QUOTE]
