[QUOTE="kellywelly, post: 1826545, member: 163222"] Very glad for this thread today. Multiple injections and testing per day is hard enough but I find the attitude to type 2s the hardest thing to deal with. I refuse to tell people in the office because of the number of diabetes jokes I hear around me on a weekly basis. I've just been on the receiving end of a comment from a type 1 about how insulin dependent type 2s don't deserve the same equipment as type 1s because we got it because of lifestyle choices and we could reverse it by cutting calories and not stuffing our faces. I literally wanted to cry. I've worked so hard to get my levels at the right range but rather than feel proud of what I've done, I feel ashamed of who I am. Glad for this reminder to try and ignore the haters :-) [/QUOTE]
