wow! did you meet through some diabetes related event? or at something completely separate and she just HAPPENED to also be type 1? Because if it is the latter, what a coincidence!

I wrote a blog about this topic here at TU earlier this year with a lot of great responses. Right now my blogs are in archives.

I dated a girl in 6th grade (I was diagnosed in the 7th grade) that had Type 1 Diabetes. To this very day, I think she gave me Type 1 Diabetes (blink blink).

I am sure there will be great times to be had laughing and giggling when both of your meters show the same glucose numbers. Sharing I:C ratio's for different foods. Some arguing when both blood sugars are low at the same time. Ah, what fun!

I have 2 type 2 friends. Have known them since 1992. I don't think they really get what I go through and vice versa.

Me!! In high school I would bump into the same cutie everyday for testing before lunch in the nurse's office, and we dated for 4 months! It was cute- I never had to explain what "low" really meant, but it also meant that I couldn't milk my diabetes more, ;-)

Aw, I love this story! Does life honestly get any better than two love birds testing their blood sugars together in the school nurses office? I doubt it :)

I've had relationships with several diabetics, let's see. First there was my aunt, a Type 1, my grandmother, a Type 2, a Type 2 cousin or 3, a 3rd cousin Type 1. Then of course, though I never had a chance to meet him, was my great grandfather, a Type 2. Of course he died at age 75 after 25 years with diabetes ~1926 and I wasn't born until 1950. He had his OWN treatment for is some 15 years before the doctors did. He was definitely the patriarch of this bunch of diabetics.
