I’m type 1 diabetic, most people, whether its the public, medical professionals, or reporters, don’t know the difference between type 1 and 2, and manage as type 2. Loooots of people as type 1 report going into DKA if they’re admitted to a hospital in the US because you’re not allowed to manage your own insulin, and they treat you like a type 2 using their stupid ‘sliding scale’ approach.
Long way to say, I’m not surprised both this woman didn’t know what she was doing, and that this article got aaaalll the details wrong.
Must be a weird feeling to get caught by a system of surveillance you had a hand in supporting…
