So great if only my type 3s had a longer than 1 minute attention span i could get them to listen to this podcast... But it made me think that maybe one of the first things we should teach to the newly diagnosed type 1 is how to set boundaries with people, including clueless healthcare providers
Yes, boundaries are important! :)
Great advice offered, as usual, Doctors. Personally, I've had to deal with much of what you've spoken about over the years, but having had Type 1 for more than 40 years now, I have a tendency to simply ignore the ignorant. SOME people seem to be so 'set in their beliefs' that they won't listen when you try to explain things to them. Keep on keeping on, sirs. ♥♥
Unfortunately it can be hard for some people to understand when they aren't living it themselves, even after repeat education/explanations. Thanks for listening, and appreciate your comment!
@@TCOYDtv I agree. It's just that when you've explained things so many times and the message doesn't seem to be 'getting through', it impacts on your own well-being, and SOMETIMES some of us have little support.
Doctors need to stop scolding patients for the bs numbers. We are basically graded every single time we have a blood sugar reading and especially when a1c tests come back. 32 years i have been a type 1, and i have never left a dr appt feeling like i am worth the skin I'm in, strictly from all the years of being blamed for this disease doing what it wants when it wants regardless of the fact i have always done my best with what is available to treat and live with this dreaded condition. Severely lacking in self worth and have zero self esteem because of it. The ignorant person is annoying but drs and anyone working in the medical field seriously need educated on what type 1 really is and how to be decent to the people with it.
Why do you keep using "Type 3" to refer to non-diabetics? Don't you think this will create confusion for the 8-10% of diabetics with Type 3c?
That percentage is dwarfed by the number of type 3s as we define it.
@@TCOYDtv Well, yes … which is exactly my point. You using this made-up "type 3" term significantly diminishes awareness of an actual medically-recognized disease.
Dwarfed but not non existent. As someone with MODY it's actually really difficult to find resources and groups for people like me as it's so often overlooked in favour of type 1 and 2’s. Perhaps you could consider doing a video on Type 3cs to balance out this video? It might help arm someone out there with the information they need to push for a correct diagnosis and consequent treatment
