How fortunate we are to have choices – to have choices we can make for ourselves for our own brand of diabetes.
I’m feeling a little burnt out at the moment by the zealots online who think it’s their way or the highway. Do what works for you and share it, by all means. But attacking someone else for doing something different is just being a dick. Don’t be a dick. There’s really no need.

Couldn’t have said it better myself. T1D related or not as soon as someone starts to be so narrow minded I start to switch off.

“Don’t be a dick” – this is the phrase to live by.
Why people find it so hard to accept there is more than one point of view in the world is just beyond me.
Love your posts Renza.
