[QUOTE="donnellysdogs, post: 864259, member: 17713"] T1 is vastly different to type 2. Sole reason.. This is "generally" a disease that is diagnosed in childhood so there is mo if or buts.... It is non blame on that person. Generally speaking we are not fat, have only ate the things our parents thought were ok and is a life burdwn of constant injections and resting or pumping for the rest of our lives. Sure, we can change carb qty and try different diwts but it usn't going to get us back in to non diabetes. At least some type 2's can reduce their meds.... We can't. We're injecting insulin for the rest of our ****lives!!! Type 2's, sorry.... You do not know how it feels to be a type 1 to be waiting on medical companies and research to get us off injections or pumps. Tablets are a lot wasier to swallow than having to test and inject every time you want to eat. Some type 2's here have actually shown me just how in sensitive some are to just realising the impact of T1 has on our lives. Eg. How would type 2'a really feel about having to think every single morning before they even get out of bed... 1) have I enough insulin for the day 2) is my handset charged 3) s**t I have to do a set change 4) ****, today is 6th day, need to do a tube change 5)!****, I forgot to take cartridge out of fridge last night 6) this is after waking up at 3am to do a blood test. Was a bit high, I'll amrend basal before I forget 7) ok.. Shall I shower now, or change everything when I get home after a bath 8) if I do that, will I have enough insulin 9) oh my, I ate my hypo stoppers yest from car.. Got to remember to fill them up 10) oh have I enough blood strips till I get home? 11) am I driving today? 12) s**t I'm not working today so I should have changed my pump last night to "non work" basal profile- did I do it? 13) whats my blood? Thoughts all within 2 minutes of waking... This is first thoughts, every single **** morning of our lives.... Doesn't matter about whether its injections or pumps the feelings are the same. T2's on tablets or diet control or non diabetics do not have a clue what it is to live depending upon injected insulin or pumps. How we have to (or should) prepare for each day before we even get out of bed is nothing that a non diabetic will ever know. It is hard. We carry on. We live with stupid remarks from people who have not got a clue. This is not an easy illness to live with and the insensitivity of people without T1 is **** hard to cope with at times. [/QUOTE]
