Thanks for the reply barbc888. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">
Now I understand where you are coming from. There IS a lot of confusion out there about Type 1, Type 2 and CFRD. CFRD is a bear all it's own. Not Type 1 (an autoimmune disorder) and Type 2 (metabolic disorder). It has similar treatments to both, but it is not classified as either because of the cause.
Just wanted to clear that up because if you are labeled "Type 1" you can have some problems getting insurance coverage (like short term disability) and such. But if you are labeled "Type Other" (which is what CFRD is classified as, according to the ADA i believe) you can fit through the loophole. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> I think it is very important for all to know that.
As I am finding, CFRD really isn't that different from person to person. The amounts of insulin that are needed varies, but in all actuality it isn't that complicated. Dealing with it maybe quite complicated though. Since everyone's bodies react differently to stress, exercise, food... but all the same variables affect us, and with CFRD it is all caused by the same thing. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">
Anyone out there, if I am wrong, pleeeeease correct me. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">
