Type 1 diabetes

I know in the past we’ve passed around oddball things that people
will mention to us about misconceptions about what people with
diabetes can eat, and how ones with diabetes should live their lives.
Recently I’ve been drumming up donations for the JDRF walk-a-thon
this fall, and have been going at it pretty aggressively. Some
people ask questions, the usual, “so she can’t eat any sugar, she
must be overweight, blah blah blah.” One woman I gingerly tried to
explain that while I don’t feed my daughter snickers bars and
slushees, I do quite often give her a dixie cup size serving of ice
cream each night before bed. Before I could explain the benefits of
this, I got a look that could have killed. I thought this woman was
going to call child protective services on me.
I had to laugh at how much people don’t know and obviously don’t
understand. I’m sure the rest of you have come up against this in
your experiences.

Just had my 3rd A1C since being diagnosed. Although I’m doing better
with my ratios, I still have some highs every now and then.
First A1C in March was 12ish.
Second in May was 7.
Today’s was 6.3.
I’m absolutely ecstatic! I’m going to get below 6, but I’ll definitely
take a 6.3! Endo said I’d been around 6.1 if it wasn’t for last week’s
refried bean incident (don’t ask!).
Now, if I could just gain some weight!
Thanks to all that have posted here and those that have answered my
questions. I have learned a lot from your words, much more than from
anywhere else. I wish you all the best.

I was just wondering…who is the owner of this group? I know it’s a stupid
question, but I really have no idea who started this group.

Thanks A Bunch!
