| | | Type?
Type 1, 62 years. I am also a double diabetic since I am a Type 1 with insulin resistance. So do I get to vote both types 1 & 2? Didn't think so. Any other double diabetics in DF???

Our doctors are more concerned with their golf scores then they are with their patients. Not to mention the "you did it to yourself" crowd I for one get mad as H@#$ when someone uses that line with me. Another problem is people are afraid to admit they have diabetes for fear of losing their job.
Oh yea type 2 diagnosed June 2004 and I didn't get diabetes because I was fat I started gaining weight when my BG became impaired which I believe was Triggered by Prevacid.
