Nice, simple article. Good posting Mark.

Sarah, Mark nailed it.

When I was 1st diagnosed, by the Dr., he thought it Might be Type 2, when I went to diabetes classes, the Certified Diabetes Educator, took one look at me, smiled and told me I was Type 1 and she gently let me know there was no change of just getting by on oral Meds and that I was on insulin forever. Dr. is fairly new to diabetes treatment and diagnoses whereas CDE has been working with diabetics a LOOOOng time. Plus, she is diabetic too, a pumper, so she really knows her stuff.

Very Serious shock to me, I had been expecting to go to strictly oral Meds.

Ah, well. The trade off is I get to eat a whole lotta stuff that people like Harold have given up. Although, Harold does have an excellent appetite.
