My Type 1 Diabetes Story || 10 YEAR DIAVERSARY STORYTIME!

I was 30 when I was diagnosed Type 1. So mad that we are 99 years since insulin was first used to treat humans for Type 1. In 1912 they used insulin and checked blood sugars(via ketones) to treat Type 1. Fast forward 99 years...We use insulin and check blood sugar instead of urine sugar. We have really fancy devices and delievery systems today. BUT WE ARE NO CLOSER TO A CURE TODAY THAN WE WERE 99 YEARS AGO!!! A Covid vaccine in 9 months. AIDS is now treated with 1 pill a day and there is a shot that can be given once per month in clinical trials but for those of us with Type 1 there has been NO CHANGE since this treatment was started.
