So I was watching a movie today called Arctic Blast and I was surprised to find that 1 of the main characters was a T1D! The movie itself was OK. Kind of like a poorly made version of The Day After Tomorrow. But I liked seeing a type 1 in the movie. They showed her checking her blood and having problems with her insulin and stuff. I thought it was kind of neat as you don't really see many diabetics in movies.
Your post got me searching and I found this really interesting article:
