    Great video. I’m a type 1 and have met a few of these people you speak of :) Had a new one too – while carefully hiding my meter and doing a quick check before dinner, someone comes up and starts yelling at me for checking my blackberry while at a wedding… nice huh?

    Thank you so much for this video omg it great to see that someone has gone though the same thing in dealing with people who don’t have diabetes. I am a diabetic who knows what it like some days

    If someone tells me that they’d rather die than take injections, I tell them about medijectors and/or point out that that’s pretty ablist.
