What the f is ‘early stage’ and ‘advance staged’ diabetic?

My wife is a T1D - you’re either diabetic or not.

Freestyles are not reliable to be used purely for managing immediate levels of glucose - it is more about trends and give an idea of whether it is going up or down.

This appears to be an education issue, for the users and also for the writer.

Type 2, most likely. It changes for people as it progresses.

But even Type 1 people will have a different experience in the early days versus years later - you don't lose all beta cell function in one moment.
