First off, welcome to the forum. I have been here over a month and haven't seen any verbal abuse at all.

There's no room for lots of things with this disease. Generally we do keep our sights on the target   |

| | | Well hello there phonelady61, welcome to the forums, great place full of friendly people always ready to help and support. Verbal abuse, no way, information and a few laughs, we have enough to contend with, nothing to be gained by turning on our own.
Jump right in and ask questions, the people here really don't bite!

Can you tell us a little more about yourself..........how long have you been a type 1.5 and what meds/insulin you are taking?
