Top worst things about having type 1 diabetes?

I find that the most annoying thing about diabetes is the way other people (especially authority figures) act about it. "low blood sugar? You're such an attention seeker. You're so lucky!" "So how much sugar did you eat to get diabetes?" "Am I gonna catch it from you?" btw, you're really pretty.
 
Except that "diabetes never killed anyone" is a historical claim, and it's hard to see how education could have helped T1 diabetics around 500 BC.
Up until the 1920s in fact. Not to mention people in developing countries who don't have access to good medical care like we do here, are still dying of diabetes today.

Or indeed diabetics going hypo during the night and never waking up again. Hardly stupid or ignorant.
