Hi, Thank you onlymep,
I've posted a few questions already but they are mostly in search of info relating specifically to Type 1's and I can't find any Type 1 sub-forum here. Do you know whether there is one or where to find it?
Hello & welcome, BC. There is no type 1 board per se. If we grow so much that we need to break it down more, I'm sure that will be taken under consideration, but there are good reasons to avoid that segregation too, because we have type 2 members whose pancreata have burnt out completely, so they make no insulin; yet they are not type 1, they are insulin-dependent type 2. Furthermore, I've found on other forums that there is the occasional boor who gets territorial about "his" type board, and proceeds to chastise anyone of the "other" types who have appropriate/relevant comments - saying they aren't allowed to post there.
Here is where everyone is allowed comment anywhere, so they can & do. If you prowl around here awhile, you'll begin to recognize the type 1 folk, the pumpers, the all the ones in between who have acute insights into all the workings of diabetes. Your doctor/dietician/diabetes educator prob'ly aren't type 1 either, but you still consider what they have to say.
