I am so angry and resentful of people telling me that I wouldn't be diabetic if I exercised more and changed the way I eat. I was born without a properly functioning pancreas. Too many people believe type 1 diabetes is self inflicted.

If you just say "diabetes" when describing something that only pertains to type 2, then the public just lumps it all together, like when talking about losing weight to get rid of type 2. A person with type 1 will NEVER be rid of it by losing weight ! It is AUTOIMMUNE and needs a cure ! Insulin is only LIFE SUPPORT!

Type 1 diabetes is not a result of lifestyle, but an autoimmune attack. My daughter's body turned against her, and nothing she, or we did caused this horrible disease. I want people to understand that Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes are two very different diseases.
