Admiring our differences

I am a Type 2 Diabetic (probably), and use an insulin pump.  Not many Type 2's do.  I have learned a lot from the Type 1 community, probably more from them than Type 2.

Why?  I am extremely sensitive to glucose in my bloodstream and it affects my cognitive ability.  I found pills very ineffective, and found dosing insulin didn't do the jump well enough for me.  I didn't like the spikes I got.

However, there is a strong possibility that I am both types, since there is evidence that my pancreas doesn't work.

    We are all in this together which makes for an easier road I think. IT’s all about community and never being alone.

    I really enjoy reading your posts, because you give me a perspective that’s very different from my own. Yet, very similar. 🙂
