      I binge on anything and everything. However, there isn't really anything you are not really allowed to eat 'diabetes wise' these days, you can eat anything as a t1 as long as you cover it with sufficient insulin. Insulin has advanced so much that it's possible to alter doses to what you need in that way these days.

      There's no point in dwelling on things you cannot change. It gets you nowhere.

      Not just obesity but the ignorant misconceptions people make about T1 because the two types aren't distinguished. Like the fact that Type1 is in no way caused by life-style, cannot be prevented etc, and most of the time type 1 is a more serious, life altering condition than type 2 is, we deserve that to be recognised. If you'd spent your life having to explain to people that you didn't become diabetic because you eat too many sweets or didn't exercise enough you might get it. T1 Kids get bullied at school because of this and mistakes are everywhere in the media, it is really unfair. I am not trying to shame those with type two at all, It;s the media and widespread ignorance I have a problem with, not T2's, they (media) should be presenting accurate information about BOTH types of diabetes (in the case of type two, facts such as not all are overweight etc). I really can't explain this to you properly as it is such a big issue and very important to me, so i feel like i am just rambling, but a lot of other T1's feel exactly the same as me. It's not some stupid personal agenda I have, It's a valid concern and things need to change.
