Us Type 1 people, have it so much worse. Andy, I am very sorry for your loss. Especially for me, I live away from everyone and my fear is, I will not wake up one day after falling asleep. Living on a tropical island does have its drawbacks! People hark on about the dangers of Type 2 which is pretty much self inflicted. Us Type 1 people, have it so much worse.

Was talking to a friend this week who does post-doctoral research on diabetes (type 2 mainly) but it gave me an understanding of the facts behind both types. This is huge!
