Type 1 is super manageable, if you want to manage it. My son’s had it since he was 19 months and has never been hospitalized for ketoacidosis or diabetic coma. He’s 15 now, which means we are through the bulk of puberty, which is the real rapids.

She’s 64 and they now have closed loop systems for managing it. A sensor for auto-detecting BCG level and it talks wirelessly with a pump that regulates with Humalog or Novalog.

If she’s that sick with type 1, then she’s basically refusing to treat herself. Everybody wins in that case, I guess.
