  Has someone ever told you that you can’t eat something because you live with diabetes?
  Like others here, it's more of "Can you eat . . .?" than "You shouldn't eat . . .!" Nonetheless, it comes across the same way.

  This is actually one of my biggest pet peeves. People who say, "Are you sure you can/should eat that?" Excuse me, but I think I know how to take care of myself and my diabetes better than you ever could. Thankfully, this does not happen much anymore, but years ago, it was a common refrain...

  Oh my goodness… yes! As a child I was often reminded of my limitations because of diabetes. I’m hopeful that those misconceptions about T1D have changed over the decades.

  Between your regular T1D care visits, what questions tend to come up that you wish you could ask a diabetes expert? Share your thoughts in the comments.
  Is there a formula for how much more insulin to take when getting a steroid shot?

  YES, DONATE PLASMA for the production of IGG. My wife is immune compromised with CVID. I was extremely disappointed when the technical support nurse basically said No you’re on insulin and it’s not filtered out during the washing process.

  Maybe not a physical restriction, but decades ago I was told I was ineligible to get a pilot’s license.

  Yes. It had to do with a job that required me to drive delivery vans to clean and park them on the company's lot.
