What type one diabetes is NOT

For the record, Type 1 Diabetes is NOT Type 2 diabetes. Although controlling your diet and exercising helps to keep your blood glucose levels regulated, having high blood sugar is not necessarily an indication that you are being careless with your health. You CAN have sugar, but in small and very controlled amounts and at certain times. You cannot just take a pill and make it all better. Type 1 means that your pancreas is not producing insulin, which is very diffrent from Type 2 which means that your pancreas needs to be stimulated and IS still working. So please don't be insensitive with people who have this disease, and please don't make stupid assumptions and comments. Instead, do some research, ask some questions, and LISTEN.
