I created my own line of diabetes puzzles books to help people learn about diabetes and nutrition in a fun way. They are catching on fast!

She said that although she is technically a type 1 diabetic, she now considers herself a TYPE 2 diabetic because she "WEANED" herself off of insulin! WHAT!?!? Has anyone ever heard of this? You would think that if she found a way to not have to take insulin to stay alive, that she would actually SHARE her amazing story of HOW with the rest of us! This upsets me more because I am already annoyed with her not being vocal about her Diabetes (never heard her mention it except for when the actor studio host asked a direct question referring to it). I was so excited at first, when he asked her about her life changing experience. I thought, she is finally going to tell us!! And then my hopes where crushed when she said she was no longer Type 1. I felt like crying. I felt betrayed, like she found the "cure" and decided to keep the rest of us in the dark cold night, with our insulin shots and pumps, BG meters, and highs and lows to keep us warm. Sorry to be so dramatic, it just really pissed me off. Thanks for listening to my ranting! Teresa :) Also, an unrelated comment:

Yesterday my highest BS was a 180 (post-meal). I can't remember, in the 12 years I've been a Type I, ever being able to say that! Thanks Amy!
