[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 2138040, member: 365308"] I agree with Jim's general point about the fact that medical orthodoxy can be proven wrong but believe that your issue stems from the public misunderstanding of what kind of diabetes you have. When I was young people got that I was type 1 on insulin but now I am middle aged people seem to be confused as to what type I am or will make an assumption based on my size. I also met a type 2 at a Diab Uk event who revealed to me that he had become a type 1 recently by which he meant he now had to inject! It is frustrating to have a condition which is not currently reversible when as you say, there is a lot of publicity about the reversibility of type 2s and I am envious that they have that option. It is very encouraging that people are reading their Sun/Daily Mail etc. and getting that message because that is where 90% of the diabetes and maybe 70% of the costs are. In the meantime there is promising new tech (closed loop systems) and new medicine (beta cell transplants for example). Personally I have lived through glass syringues and urine testing through to being on a pump with fsl in the last nearly 40 years. [/QUOTE]
