Yes. Since I was 13, along with my sister, my dad and both grandfathers. It's sometimes discouraging how type 1 and type 2 get lumped together under the same name together, even though they are two totally different conditions that happen to have some of the same complications.
Starting this year, Medicare refuses to pay for the quantity of test strips my doctor has prescribed for me, because they use guidelines for type 2 diabetes, and apply them erroneously to type 1.
This country's health care system is beyond ridiculous.

I bleed every day. I do not cry every day. :)
I was going to say exactly the same thing! So I'll just say "ditto" :)
You have to give yourself a blood test too? :)
5 blood tests a day, then two large injections and at least three small ones.
Wow! Type I? My nephew-in-law's daughter has type I and she has to test just like you. Were you born with it too?
I have type II so I test once a day and give myself an injection once a day.
