According to Dictionary.com the word demystify means to make less mysterious or remove the mystery from; "let's demystify the event by explaining what it is all about." The crusade to demystify Type 1 Diabetes is a direct response to the lack of knowledge in the general public regarding the actual disease of Type 1 Diabetes and how lives are altered once a diagnosis has been made.It is also an attempt to educate people regarding the general lack of respect that some people living with Type 1 Diabetes, and their caregivers, deal with on a daily basis.Once Type 1 Diabetes is demystified then the inappropriate questions, unsolicited advice, and general ignorance can be put behind us and we can talk about Type 1 Diabetes and the people that have it with the respect that they both deserve.
