I (30F) was diagnosed with TYpe 2 diabetes last year. Thru a program at my job, I can get Dexcom continuous monitors for free as long as I participate. So why not? Occasionally, someone will notice it and ask me what it is (because I cover it with a cute patch) and I’ll tell them it’s a Dexcom CGM. The people I don’t have to tell? Old people who have Dexcoms and Type 1 diabetics of any age. They see it and know immediately what it is. The old people typically don’t know there’s a difference between T1D and T2D but the T1D usually assume I’m also T1D because of my age. I recently had someone I see regularly notice my Dexcom and I noticed they seemed more interested in me afterwards. Talking About different things, fav snacks and CGMs, late lunches and feeling shaky, etc. Eventually they asked something about my insulin pump. I clarified that I didn’t have one, they seemed shocked and asked what I do then? I told them I’m pretty well controlled with diet (I made massive changes) and Mounjaro. They then got snide and accused me of being an ahole by misleading them and pretending I was a type 1 diabetic and that I should have clarified that i have the diabetes that I did to myself, which is different than having diabetes done to you like a type 1 diabetic. They are avoiding me now and also pointing out to people that I am type TWO diabetic, not type ONE. Now I’m questioning if I’m suppose to explain that I’m type 2 diabetic specifically so that I don’t accidentally end up masquerading as a type 1 diabetic??
