Our friend Eric the 17 year old chose the pump right at the start. His Dad was a diabetic so he was very very knowledgable. He felt the pump gave him the best opportunity for close to normal life. Carol

There’s another way t1 and t2 differ. I think most of the recent progress made in cures such as injecting the cells so the pancreas starts producing insulin are for t1. There is I think more hope of a cure soon for the t1. Carol t2 with a glass half full also

hope you don’t feel the same towards ANY other types of illnesses…… each of us has something to cope with…. this is something that will make more sense as you get older meanwhile, have you looked into the pump? is this the route you have decided to go?….. are you using the pen for injections?

so where does the feeling come from?  It has nothing to do with the type 2s.  Also much of what you posted above is wrong.

Hi, John. I’ve been a type 1 since the age of 5, for 40+ years. The situation with the focus is, unfortunately, due to the mis- leading and confusing nature of the nomenclature ‘diabetic’ as well as the mathematics of the deal. There are similarities between type 1s and type 2s and dissimilarities. You often hear people say "diabetics …" when they’re really only referring to a type 1 or 2 and their statement is accurate for one type but inaccurate for the other type. I’m guessing on the numbers, here, but I think there are 15 type 2s for every type 1, roughly 15 million American type 2s to 1 million type 1s – I could look it up, oh, what the hey, here I go … out to the web to look for validation … Sorry, I couldn’t find the figures, so if my figures are wrong, please, any readers with a reference for the correct figures, post them … – - – Don’t be discouraged, but do understand that in the newsgroup venue, there will be frustration at times because of the nature of the nomenclature and the interests/background/focus of folks who sometimes have dissimilar interests/experiences … so To directly relate to the type 1 scene, being that I’ve been in that boat for 40+ years, it sucks … it bites the big one … and that’s a fact (all pretense aside) … and for all the bravado we show, we know, within ourselves, the nightmare … however, for public consumption, we convey the obligatory disclaimers and act as if everything is OK (most of the time, when, in fact, with a 24×7x365 job of control, everything is not OK, not by far) … just 1 mistake, just 1 is all it takes, and our ass is grass … Not a pleasant thought to be harbored in one’s consciousness or subconsciousness, combined with the thought that the further one is from a low blood glucose event, the closer one is to com- plications over the long-term, so yes, a constant-never-ending- always present-always lurking threat that *must* be on our minds because if it isn’t, see above for that "1 mistake is all it takes" fact … believe me, I know from a recent near-death experience which almost cost my life and the life of my daughter, and _?_, so … Meanwhile … Might I suggest, why don’t you search for ‘t1′ or ‘type 1′ via the following, and perhaps you can find some further commiseration of folks to share with, either via the newsgroup or email … http://groups.google.com – - – Feel free to email me if you think it might be of value for you, any time. – - –  -Dan Fake, Pro-Humanist FREELOVER  http://danfake.home.att.net

Response:

I am grossly underwhelmed by your ignorance (or should I say lack of knowledge) about diabetes. I have been a Type 2 diabetic for over 20 years.   Tell me how we differ. I inject insulin four times a day — a total of 80 units.  I test six times a day. I very religiously follow an eating plan designed to combat the Insulin Resistance that still plagues me as a Type 2.  I am on no other medication than the insulin I take.  I have peripheral neuropathy and autonomic neuropathy.  I have endured a major heart attack — with no symptoms due to the autonomic neuropathy.  I had carotid surgery, thought to have been induced by my diabetes.  Oh, and I shouldn’t forget the angioplasty.  Other than those things, I’m the perfect picture of health. But, each morning, when I awaken, I thank God for the new day and the opportunities to help others that the day presents.  And, I’m also thankful that most of the diabetics I know have far fewer symptoms / problems than I, and hope their disease won’t worsen as mine did.  I live a happy, productive life IN SPITE OF my illness,  rather that wallowing in a sea of self pity BECAUSE OF it.  Believe me, I take great joy from helping others less fortunate than I.  You can too if you stop pitying yourself so much. Now, an answer to how we differ —  in at least one respect — your glass is half empty;  mine is half full. Charles Evans

I didn’t know that either. John, when you read my message, the T1 that lived with me that I referred to was only 17. He was also on a pump. And he is the son of a diabetic who died young from complications.  His name is Eric> I really think Eric has an easier time managing his diabetes. Maybe because he had a great example from his Dad who had to give up being a cop when he lost his sight, went to college  and became a lawyer. Built a house by hand, went camping and canoeing after he lost his leg. And Eric did not let diabetes stop him from doing all the things he did before diabetes struck. He continued in boy scouts, went white water rafting and mountain climbing while he was here. I know what its like to be 15 and be diagnosed with a lifelong disease (although it wasn’t diabetes.) Its a bummer. It takes a while to get used to the idea. But you can either let it take all that you do have in your future, or you can take all of it and not let diabetes win. You have the power.

Response:

>all you other type 1’s ever have this thought/feeling.  A lot of times i >think to myself….."SCREW THE TYPE 2′S!!!"

John, I’m a Type 1, have been since I was very young.  Like you I use to think that Type 2s were all lazy and they bitched a lot about their disease when all they had to do is diet and exercise to stay in control.  It’s a drag being Type 1 and I cursed the fact that I had been the unlucky winner in the Diabetes lottery…I mean, it’s bad enough to get the disease, but to have to stick a needle in me like Keith Richards from the Rolling Stones several times a day, just didn’t seem fair.  But as I got older I realize that little in life really makes sense.  So, I deal with it.  In the meantime I’ve learned quite a bit how the other half – Type 2’s – live.  I learned that their disease is not just brought on by a bad lifestyle, that they can get the exact same complications as you or I and that they have even less flexibility with what they eat than we do.  As far as who gets all of the attention, I’ll have to disagree with your assessment.  The ADA is predominatly geared towards Type 1’s and most of the research money, as well as the general public’s understanding about Diabetes is about Type 1’s.  That will probably change a lot given that new definitions about what makes a Type 2 diabetic are now being followed and a staggering number of new cases are being reported because of those new guidlines. Bottom line, John.  Yes, you can vent your anger on others, but ultimately it won’t do any good.  Stick around here and see how people deal with it.  Many here are Type 2’s and not everything they say is helpful to people like you and I, but a lot of it is very relevant.  Take what you need, vent, support, understand, argue…to me these things are all about what makes this newsgroup tick.  You won’t agree with everything you read and others won’t agree with everything you write.  You’re as welcome here as anyone.  Unfortunately we’re all in this thing…whether we want to be or not.  Curse the disease, not the people who have it. Just my 52cents.   anna t

Hope that vent made you feel better. But just to correct a misunderstanding without attacking you, type 2’s don’t have all that much choice either. Diabetes has been in my family for generations. I have been on a diet and under a doctors care for it for over 40 years. I’ve maintained exactly the same weight since I was 22 years old. I’ve eaten as a diabetic as knowledge permitted at that time all my adult life, and kept my whole family on the diet too. I’m not one that ate popcorn at the movies, or ever ate desserts, or even indulged in large carb meals. But I’ve fought insulin resistence and hypoglycemia from not eating enough all my life anyway. My diagnosis changed my diet only slightly and I maintain without use of meds. There’s plenty of others out there and hanging around here with exactly the same story. When I was first diagnosed the very first time I was in my doctors waiting room there was a new diabetic sitting there having a conversation with some sort of suppport person. She was discussing their weekly meeting and how the T1 folks withdrew to a separate room so they didn’t have "put up with" T2s. Well guess why I never bothered to check out that group. I think it would be better if both types supported each other instead of worrying about which one has the "worst kind" or who is sick through their own fault and who is an "innocent".    Lets see, those poor type 2’s have to diet, > aww…..and MAYBE have to test their blood sugars every once in a > while…poor guys…..

You know last summer we had a type 1 visit us. I tested more often than he did, and I had less choices in what to eat.  I’m not saying he’s luckier than I. But I point out that each of us has our own journey and most of us have to deal pretty much with the same issues. Blindness, infections, amputations, kidney failure, heart attacks and strokes for instance don’t sit around saying "well now… is this person a 1 or a 2 because that will inluence my striking them down."  Nope, those consequences are equal opportunity for anybody 1 or 2 who isn’t in control whether they don’t bother or work very hard but fail anyway. Type 2 should be called diabetes for weenies! I know this > is mean, especially where were KINDA suffering from the same disease…..but > i just have this feeling a lot and need to get it out.

I can identify with this feeling but not in diabetes. I feel it because I have a lot of medical problems related to second hand smoke. I get so pissed off at my mother who smoked for 50 years with no conequences while I’ve always had reactive lung disease, and am now fighting asthma, allergies, have chronic pneumonia problems, and take all sorts of medications and have for decades because of her exposing me during childhood, and now that she’s finally experiencing consequences she whines and complains and explains in detail how hard it is to breathe. I just want to smack her sometimes and yell "NOW DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHY I COMPLAINED ABOUT YOUR SMOKING ALL THOSE YEARS"  See I do understand. I also send you hugs. Hope it helped to vent. And suggest that you try to let it go. It doesn’t help to perseverate. Carol

Response:

You think there aren’t t2’s that have to take injections too, and don’t forget that most times the pancreas will burn out from all our meds and then we have t1 and t2.  I don’t really think this is the place to start attacking one another.  We all have problems. Sue T2   4/99

Thanks, Mike. I’m a type 2 and a cancer patient (and I’m not the only one around here). Does that make me a weenie but with a "real" disease that’s "not my fault", or what? Or is John going to blame me for getting cancer too. bj

Having a little pity party can be good for the soul. When you are done, perhaps you could take the time to learn a little about diabetes. Ignorance, especially in the presence of self-pitying whines, isn’t pretty.
