Oh what a lovely idea. I'm greedy and would want to use the wand to wave diabetes away for everyone forever.....If someone told you that they have a magic wand and they can take away your Diabetes for a day. Would you take them up on that offer?
Yes. I would quite happily have a day off please. Especially after today which has been diabetically pants. I woke up at midnight needing a wee, which is normally a good signal of a hyper. I wasn't mega high, but higher than I'd like, 7.4 so I gave half a unit and went back to sleep. At 7:30 when I woke up I was 8.5 because my pump had decided I was going to drop low (obviously I wasn't) and had suspended my insulin for the last two hours. So when I bolused for breakfast my body went "yeah that's nice, but blood sugar won't be moving under 8 for well over 90 minutes cos I've not had any insulin going in at all for the last two hours, so you know how you were going to have raspberries, lol no". It did make getting to my yoga class a little tight the morning. I would happily put this stupid pump in the microwave, I do not cope well with waking up high. And the predictive low suspend did NOT stop me passing out hypo for at least a little while yesterday afternoon. I mean I live alone so I'm not sure exactly how unconcious I was or for how long but there was definitely lost time and I was 2.2 when I was with it enough to realise I had to test.
So yes, when can I have my day off?
Till midnight?
Until the "prince" shows up with a glass slipper shaped vial of insulin..
If someone took it away from me I would struggle - my head would explode - I would not have a clue how to deal with the freedom from the grinding routine! But over time I'd sure get used to being cured, and I'd be delighted.
But just for one day? That would just be horrid, if it's back to the normal routine the next day!
Very interesting question, though!

The story of Diabetic Cinderella. sounds like a story that must be written...
Not for myself, no. But for my girl? You bet. Give her a break even if just for 24 hours. Let her eat whatever her little heart desires.
I see it more as a musical... With the "protagonist" more like an assistant in a diabetes research lab with the mice..
12.She handles everything so well but she's my baby and shouldn't have to do what she does.

Rightly or wrongly my type 1 is a very large part of my identity, so this really strikes a chord!might take away who you really are.
Only if there is a double blind, gold plated, RCT trial report that provides conclusive evidence that it works.If someone told you that they have a magic wand and they can take away your Diabetes for a day. Would you take them up on that offer?
Ooo never thought about that.Yeah I would. What if the spell mucks up halfway and you are stuck nondiabetic forever?
