Baby Tee replied to Dolores's discussion 'Whats the most annoying comment you've ever gotten about diabetes?'"I assume so, because the Type 2's were supposed to be in other sessions. I did say, though, "I am type 1". She said "so am I". ??????"

Baby Tee replied to Christina McGuffin's discussion 'Consider giving up'"I check that when I am checking 7+ times a day, if I change my lancet once a day my fingers fair much better. I used to change it either when my fingers started hurting or once a week, whichever came first."
Baby Tee replied to Dolores's discussion 'Whats the most annoying comment you've ever gotten about diabetes?'"At a TCOYD conference, one of the type 1 sessions "You are so thin for a diabetic".
I am 5'2" and weigh roughly 145 lbs. That is a BMI of around 27, which is technically overweight, so I am not skinny by any means."
