Hey guys! Don’t you hate being compared to Type 2 diabetics? I feel bad when I meet new people and have to explain the difference. It may sound a bit bratty but I don’t think type 2 diabetics have it as bad as we do. Then there’s the fact it’s more manageable without shots/pumps. I feel like Type 1 diabetics get the bad diabetes stereotypes from them as well. (Old, overweight, can’t eat candy/sugar)

      Most of my family is type 2 while I’m type 1 and my mother is always bragging about how her A1C is always under 7. Mine would be too if all I had to do was take one pill a day. It’s so aggravating.

      I use it as an opportunity to educate! Still bothers me though

      Heh.. Isn't this the truth. It's MUCH easier said than done but just kind of accepting the fact that you have to endure and live with something that they will never be able to comprehend
