Both me and my GFare diabetic and we help each other a lot

[1HappyDiabetic]

That's awesome.

What do you help each other with?

@Matriculon Definitely big differences! Type 2 diabetics have a resistance toward insulin and often use diet, exercise, and pills to keep themselves healthy. Type 1 diabetics' pancreases don't produce insulin, so they give themselves insulin injections or use an insulin pump. While exercise and diet affect Type 1s, they aren't nearly as strict or vital in treatment as they are in Type 2s. I am Type 1 and count carbohydrates and give insulin accordingly so I can eat whatever I choose.

Everyone knows i have type 1... So it's better when i'm feeling bad.

[Matriculon]

is there any other difference between Type 1 and Type 2 except for how you get it?

Hey, in your David after Dentist parody, when you said "I'm feeling low" you should broke out in song and started singing that song "Low" by Flo Rida. Like this-"I'm feeling low, low, low, low." LMAO.

[DFDSFUEIFH]

Yeah, well, you could've just deleted all those comments and blocked those users, but it's too late now. LOL. I LOVE YOU MAN! LMAO.

Hi mate, hope your well. Im a bit disapointed at the moment, unfortunately the pump is not going ahead, so unless i win the lottery, it looks like i will be remaining on injections. A bit disapointed but i will just have to make the best of it. Hope your well and keep up the good work.
