@cganders that is what we call it too (in dutch translation obv.) -
@cganders I used to think that was weird because you couldn't eat sugar, than because it made you sick. Prob not true either. -
@JanJoostBouwman my wife has type I. It's rough! -
@cganders I can imagine, it must have major impact (n both of your lives! Any chance of a therapy in the future that might improve things? -
@JanJoostBouwman lots of leads, nothing too promising just yet! We do ok!
