6 Things I Want YOU To Know About Diabetes
1) No matter what type of diabetes a person has, it is NOT their fault!
2) Most people with diabetes don't want pity. We want to teach.
3) Sometime we are in grouchy mood, just because we're in a grouchy mood...not because it is diabetes related.
4) Having an insulin pump doesn't mean I have "bad" diabetes. All diabetes is bad.
5) Low blood sugar doesn't mean I need more insulin. It means I need less. And some sugar to bring up the blood sugar. (You'd be surprised at the number of times people ask me if I need more insulin when I am low)
6) Insulin is NOT a cure. It is just something to keep me kickin' in the meantime. We still need that cure.

Well said Cara. Thanks for your list. I know this will be an eye-opening day for me to peek into everyone's mind and see what their top 6 is - not necessarily what one might expect. :)

Great list, Cara!
Hey, twin, I have a few of the same things on my list. :) I love your #3 though - that's one I didn't think of, but it's oh so true!!

Geez!!!! Sugar has a bad day, like, ONCE in a blue moon and everyone starts asking her if she's "taken care of her diabetes" that day...well...
#1) SHE'S SEVEN, and YES **I** have taken care of her diabetes that day.

#2) Get a freaking grip! People have bad days. Even people with diabetes!
