[QUOTE="phoenix, post: 347030, member: 12578"] Just read through this for the first time. The posts from diabetes51 strike a big chord with me, even though I haven't really had T1 for that long. The things I hate will change from day to day. I hate it when my OH suggests that I'm low when I get grumpy and disagree with him (yep sometimes true, but not always) I hate the idea, sometimes expressed ,that all you need to do is take some insulin to cover the carbs and that will be fine ie it's very easy; it's not, it takes analysis and a bit of 'luck' I hate it when doctors ask me what my 'dose' of insulin is . I don't have a dose I adjust it from hour to hour, day to day (so I have an average dose but it will vary immensely) Other things vary according to what I've read. Yesterday, I read that the starvation treatment for people with Diabetes back in 1916 (ie prior to insulin) was somehow a good thing and we've forgotten about it . Personally, 'd prefer not to be dead . I wold undoubtedly have lasted longer than the young children who ended up emaciated and in one case eating the budgie food because he was so hungry but stats tell me that 8 years down the line I'd still be dead (and had a thoroughly miserable quality of life prior to death.) So that's another thing I hate, the idea that insulin is somehow bad. Thank you very much Banting and Macleod , I quite like my insulin. [/QUOTE]
