the only problem i have is when i tell someone i have diabetes and then i hear this: "oh, my grandma/grandpa has/had diabetes."

most times, their grandparents are type 2. so they end up thinking i have the same thing.

but diabetes is diabetes, in my humble opinion. i think the "type 1" and "type 2" are enough distinction for me. if they dont know the difference, then it doesnt really matter to me.
