@Eric, I want to clarify my above statement. I don’t know if it came across as directed at people here on FUD…but what I meant is that there is a geographically local family I hang out with whose sixth grader has been T1D since two years old. When I have dinner with them, I watch what I say about my feelings about T1D very closely because their family mantra is “You can do anything you want anytime with T1D”. I love that about them. My point is, though, that that thinking is not emotionally helpful to _me_ because of my relationship with the disease and my very literal thinking.

So I don’t know if that came across as a shot across the bow at anyone here, but it was not intended that way at all.\_\_
