  I have T1D (and so does my Fiancé) I wish my family understood that I never get a break from diabetes and just having a little compassion would go a long way.

  I have type 1 diabetes for 55 years now. I have 2 daughters with type 1, diagnosed at age 5 and the other at age 12. I now have my amazing granddaughter, who just turned 8 & was diagnosed with type 1 4 days after her birthday. I am heartbroken over this and angry that we all have it. I wish my siblings and close friends had an inkling of what it's really like and all that's involved with managing type 1 diabetes. Just because we all look fine doesn't mean everything is easy.

  I wish people understood the extreme level of chronic fatigue I have. My control is good so that’s not the problem- i count carbs, correct highs, and do cardio and weight training. I am so exhausted ALL THE FREAKING TIME.

  I am T1D. I would like my support person to experience dealing with a going low alarm/ situation to better understand the intensity. Maybe it's just me but 77 and an arrow pointing straight down on my reader isn't exactly a fun day at the park.

  I've been a T1D for 56 years since the 1st grade. My husband is Type 2, so he is much more aware of how BG levels me and him too. I do wish he would realize that when I'm bolusing that I need to focus on the task and complete it (figuring extended bolus times,expected exercise, etc) rather than continue to talk to me and ask me questions. Especially frustrating when my BG is low and I've eaten, but I'm still low.

  I have T1D myself - - for 58 years! I wish I could explain how much it bothers me when my husband gets upset because my blood sugar isn't perfect. After 32 years together, he's finally starting to get it!
