What Type of Diabetes Do I Have?

Chris Stocker Diabetes Awareness

Usually when I mention diabetes to someone they say, “do you have the bad kind?”

So, being asked what type I have, doesn’t actually come up much.

But, when I do answer this question, I just say that I have Type 1 Diabetes. That is what I was diagnosed with and that is what I have. It’s what my medical records say.

Now, how do I really feel like answering?

Simple.

The image below shows you what type of diabetes I have.

I have the type of diabetes that requires me to:

  • check my blood sugar
  • count carbs
  • take insulin
  • wear a CGM
  • pay a lot for supplies
  • stress
  • anxiety
  • a 24/7/365 job of managing my diabetes
  • doctor appointments
  • blood work
  • a lot more

So, that’s the kind of diabetes that I have.
