My blood sugar has been way better these last three days but I almost wish it hadn't improved so that my decision regarding getting a CGM would be easier to make.

There's a kind of weird guy in my neighborhood who is visibly disabled (two canes) and fairly clearly cognitively disabled (either that or crazy). Anyway, my brother broke his elbow and this guy was saying that my brother would heal, be just fine, so long as he didn't have diabetes. And I said, no my brother doesn't have diabetes, it's just me. And he said he was diabetic too.
I asked him for how long, and he said since he was born. I was kind of suspicious about that one, since he said he'd been in the marines. I said, "They let you join the marines with diabetes?!" and he said, no, they didn't know he had diabetes, he didn't have the money for doctors growing up so nobody knew. He says they found out while he was in the marines and that's why he had to leave the marines.
So I figure this guy probably has T1 (he was telling me that he's on Lantus and Regular) and through some combination of bad medical explanations and a cognitive impairment, he thinks he was born diabetic. I'm always meeting people who think that juvenile diabetics were all born with it, so I guess it's not so weird to meet a diabetic who thinks the same. Of course, it could be he has some form of MODY, but he said type 1.

And I was thinking that my reaction to him is probably the reaction that most of the diabetics I've met have probably had to me: It's great to meet another diabetic, but does he have to be so weird?
