What's wrong with figure skating? lol I have type 1 diabetes AND i figure skate!
lol
I guess without any intentions of insulting those that are type 2... there's a lot more to treating type 1, it's more complex and there are more tools involved, carb:insulin ratio's, effects of insulins, types of insulins, the list goes on.... so perhaps there's more to talk about when it comes to treating type 1?
