Hi Winnie,
I, too, am a Type I. I was diagnosed at the ripe old age of 31 (low these, well, more than a dozen years ago now). I was skinny and my hair was falling out and when I went to the doctor, my blood sugar was about 565.
Comedies are the best! (Or for me, Jane Austen movies.....fairy tales for grown ups!!).
Hugs and good wishes coming your way!!!!
