I got type 1 about 20 months ago. Oh, speaking about being treated as a 5-year-old by doctors, well, I worked in a medical practice and when I got t1dm, they made a rule that I was the only employee not allowed to be in the building without a doctor present. They made this rule without an exam or any medical records. The practice manager then started asking why I seemed stressed. I don't know? Do you think it's the frequent hypoglycemic episodes I get as I try to juggle a career, a family, a chronic illness, and learn how to administer appropriate doses of insulin at the same time?
Your post just about encapsulates it for me, as far as my feelings and frustrations go. Well done.
