  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 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!

  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 have T1D myself. If I could get it across, the one thing that I wish was more understood: it takes time to be a diabetic. It takes time to change my set, time to test, time to count every bite of food that I eat, time to bolus, time to see doctors, etc.

  My 14 y.o. daughter has been type 1 for 13 years. I wish my work / work friends understood how much it actually consumes my life as well as hers.

  I wish my parents didn’t treat doctors visits and a1c checks as my report card. I wish they didn’t put so much pressure on me to fill out logs, because when I lied on them and my a1c was high (7s) they made me feel like I failed. It’s followed me to adulthood and I often break down crying during endo visits because I feel like I’ve failed.
