My sense is that it's one of those things the doctors would really prefer to keep people away from. But there's so much more they can do to treat and manage it these days, too. So they try really hard to avoid that line, but once it's crossed, there are a lot of good options.
The biggest thing is not to ignore it. Which I suspect you know, but I've seen what happened with a family friend who made that choice, so I'm a little paranoid.
Anyway, I'll stop babbling. But I've had type 1 for 18 years now, so if you want to talk or ask questions or just have a joint complaint session about pancreases not doing their job, just say the word.
