Rick, back in the day, being diabetic was not really something you wanted everyone to know. And heaven forbid if you were to take your shot in public, it was just something you did NOT do. As of last month, I have been Type 1 for 46 years, diagnosed when I was 3. That was back in the days of glass syringes.
Anymore, I really dont mind who knows. I carry an ice chest in the back of my pickup with me all the time. In it is my Diet Mt Dew and there is always a 1/2 gallon of milk. For me the milk acts faster than eating a candy bar.
I will agree on the trying to adjust insulin intake vs. what you are going to be doing that day. It is a Full Time JOB, but the rewards are a long normal life if you take care of yourself.
A1C's of 5.3 - 5.7 for the past 11 years, checked every 3 months.
