Hi Juan,Can I ask you how Type 1 is viewed from where you come from ? Meaning,are people well educated on what Type1 is ? Thanks :)
I grew up in San Francisco but have been living in the Los Angeles area for the last 10 years.
Yes, sure Meme =)
Here people is not well educated about Type 1. Pump in some doctors is a bad word, and some people think that diabetes is a ill that makes your life... miserable.
It's hard in teenagers and adults too. There are some old facts here that now are... old things, but they still thinking that are true facts. But, if you do the things right, and let them ask you things (some times very crazy questions), the thing changes a lot.
The good thing is that here there is a lot of Diet Products (but i saw more in Chile). You have a lot of sweet things with less sugar than the normal ones. Is nice =)
If you have more questions, just ask! =)
