      How much did you know about type 1 diabetes before you were diagnosed?
      Absolutely nothing. Diagnosed in late December 1962 at at the age of 8 years and was told I was going for a stay in hospital because I have "sugar diabetes".

      How much did you know about type 1 diabetes before you were diagnosed?
      Ironically, I was a 10 year old "before" my diagnosis. BUT, one day I was over my friend's house (on what they call a playdate in today's parlance) and we went to the pharmacy to by candy. I remember vividly a video playing on a loop on a little TV on the counter describing what diabetes was and insulin injections every day. I remember thinking to myself that those poor people must feel like pin cushions. Fast forward to two days after my 11th birthday and my doctor telling me that I had diabetes. I remember my mother being fully unaware of what it entailed. I remember telling her that it's ok, all I need to do is take shots every day. She looked at me puzzled, like how do you know this? The doctor was also a little perplexed but added, it's a little more than that, but correct. Then he explained it based on his two-three hours of training in medical school. It's funny how prompts trigger strange memories.

      Being 4 years of age, I think I can be forgiven for not knowing much of anything at all. That was 3 quarters of a century ago. ⎛⎝( ` ᢍ ´ )⎠⎞

      How much did you know about type 1 diabetes before you were diagnosed?
      I was diagnosed in 1976 at the age of 18 while in college. One weekend, I was drinking a lot of water and peeing frequently. I remembered having read a Reader's Digest article on diabetes, and I told my friends I thought I might have it. Two days later, the diagnosis was confirmed.

      I knew I couldn’t or shouldn’t have my two fav things in the world: Pepsi cola and chocolate. I was 42, and suspected very strongly that I had it, and ate a large piece of chocolate cake before my doctor’s appointment (sounds more like I was 12). Fast forward 25 years later: I never had a real cola again, but do occasionally have chocolate. I’m way healthier than I was back then in terms of diet. I no longer have irritable bowel, and I’m lucky to be able to afford what I need to combat the ill effects of this chronic disease. I’m blessed, and grateful for insulin.

      It was 35 years ago for me. I had no experience with T1d. I was starting to show symptoms and my sister-in-law quickly researched T1d and told me what she found. I went to my GP a week or two later. My BG was over 600. He sent me to the hospital right away. Blood test confirmed it.

      I only knew a little . That is why I give grace to others who do not know anything or have misconceptions.

      Has someone ever told you that you can’t eat something because you live with diabetes?
      I think it is a common experience for most people with T1D. People do not understand anything about it. I do not take it personally. I try to educate when appropriate.

      I won't use the word "diabetic" as a noun. It's as simple as that, an adjective, yes. I didn't refer to a good friend with MS as a "sclerotic". When I was working with first responders, I tried to remember to say "schizophrenia is involved", or "there's alcoholism at play here".

      I get the 'you can't eat that, can you?' comments when friends see me eat a lot of carbs or have a nice dessert. I remind them that as long as I have insulin, I can eat whatever I want.

      Like most of the above comments, it's more of a question. The statements have come in situations where I'm not actually eating something...like someone saying, "Oh, it must be hard to not be able to eat desserts!"

      I think the “Juicebox” podcast is superior for everyday control…once you accept that parents of children predominantly makeup most of the folks on it. But the steps for improving control are the same no matter the age. There are adults diagnosed for decades: some with complications, some with personal concerns, and includes professionals from the diabetic support community (Tandem, Inslet, Lilly…), educators, therapists, doctors, and celebrates.

      Also listen to “Diabetes Connections,” while mentioning some steps for control is excellent for information in the field with various guests.

      As many have already mentioned, I love the Juicebox Podcast and have gotten lots of great ideas from listening. I also like Diabetes Connections and the TCOYD Podcast. Both Juicebox and Diabetes Connections are hosted by parents of TID children and a lot of the people on it are also parents/caregivers but the TCOYD podcast is hosted by two endocrinologists who also have T1D themselves.

      Yes. Juicebox podcast and Stacey Simms podcast. Scott (Juicebox) has a daughter that has T1D that he helps manage. Sometimes his discussions that get a little sidetracked, but for the most part provides very good info. My A1C has fallen into the upper 5’s since I have started listening to him (2+ years ago). He also has a licensed endo (Jenny Smyth, RDN, LD, CDCES) that is also on the show to support diabetic topics.

      Not a tech person, always far prefer written pages. William Pollanky (the Behavioral Diabetes Institute Director) anytime someone can get him on their podcasts is always good stuff. Elliott LeBow (out of NYC) the same. Like Mark Heyman (the Diabetes Psychologist) podcasts equally well and he does regular podcasts and some specialty stuff too. Hoping more evolve and gain serious traction. The generic diabetes (common stuff) are all over, the mental or psychological podcasts re: D exclusively are far too rare. MORE, more….!!!

      No was my answer, too busy to listen to them. I’m on Medicare, so I see my Endo every three months along with once in a while see my Diabetes Educator. (Three hours a year on Medicare.)

      I listened to one YouTube video (TCOYD ) about diabetes after seeing the link on DiaTribe. It was very interesting and I would like to listen to more of these. Uninterrupted and quiet time to listen is my current problem.
