Teach people about diabetes? We train the people who teach
You were handed a diagnosis, a device, and a few hours. The rest was up to you.
That’s how nearly everyone learns this disease: trial and error, forum posts at 2am, and whatever a friend with diabetes happened to mention. Some of that knowledge is excellent. None of it is organized, and nobody makes sure you get it.
It’s not a personal failing, and it isn’t anyone’s fault. Structured diabetes education reaches only about 5–7% of people in their first year after diagnosis, and what does exist has to fit the time a visit allows — which leaves no room for practice, or for applying any of it to your own body.
The knowledge that actually changes your day-to-day is out there. It’s just scattered across thousands of people who each figured out a piece of it the hard way.
