We're all in the same boat, but T1 is not T2!

[QUOTE="sd29, post: 935265, member: 33878"] I'm going to see the family and as the only T1, I'm going to face the barrage of 'Can you eat that?' (Adult diagnosis) And 'I don't know how you do it' and 'so and so is now T1 and needs jabs when she was T2'. No. No, they aren't T1 now. They are T2 on Insulin. I have a different condition with the same name. I have to inject or I go into DKA and will drink the entire feeder reservoir dry upsetting the neighbours and creating a hosepipe ban. I can eat what I like within reason and am encouraged to do so as I need feeding up. This follows my friend stating she's cutting out sweet things from her diet now she's pregnant as she doesn't want a diabetic baby. Nice. It seems you can now grow us in utero. A new dimension to designer babies, let's groe our number to generate an insulin dependent army - we shall conquer the world as long as we have jelly babies on hand... Why does it bother me to have the distinction between the types recognised? I think it's because I am fed up of being advised spiralling could cure me, I should give up carbs and that people don't bother to distinguish that my pancreas is trying to kill me [/QUOTE]
