A type 1 diabetes diagnosis isn’t always as straightforward as you might think. That’s because the signs and symptoms of type 1 diabetes can closely resemble those of several other health conditions. Because of this, doctors must carefully rule out other possible diagnoses before confirming type 1 diabetes.
This methodical approach is called making a “differential diagnosis.” If you’re uncertain about the accuracy of your diagnosis, still trying to understand why your blood glucose (blood sugar) is high, or not responding well to prescribed treatments, here’s how a differential diagnosis could help.
Understanding Differential Diagnosis
Health care providers often use a process of elimination to narrow down what’s responsible for certain signs (measurable indicators, like blood glucose levels) and symptoms (what you feel, such as weakness or fatigue). Although these other conditions may not be your final diagnosis, they’re potential causes that need to be considered. This approach of examining various relevant conditions before selecting the appropriate diagnosis is known as making a differential diagnosis.

If you’ve learned a lot about leadership and making a movement, then let’s watch a movement happen, start to finish, in under 3 minutes, and dissect some lessons: A leader needs the guts to stand alone and look ridiculous.
But what he’s doing is so simple, it’s almost instructional.
This is key. You must be easy to follow!
Now comes the first follower with a crucial role: he publicly shows everyone how to follow. Notice the leader embraces him as an equal, so it’s not about the leader anymore – it’s about them, plural.
Notice he’s calling to his friends to join in. It takes guts to be a first follower! You stand out and brave ridicule, yourself. Being a first follower is an under-appreciated form of leadership. The first follower transforms a lone nut into a leader. If the leader is the flint, the first follower is the spark that makes the fire.
The 2nd follower is a turning point: it’s proof the first has done well. Now it’s not a lone nut, and it’s not two nuts. Three is a crowd and a crowd is news.
A movement must be public. Make sure outsiders see more than just the leader. Everyone needs to see the followers, because new followers emulate followers – not the leader.
Now here come 2 more, then 3 more. Now we’ve got momentum. This is the tipping point! Now we’ve got a movement! As more people jump in, it’s no longer risky.
If they were on the fence before, there’s no reason not to join now. They won’t be ridiculed, they won’t stand out, and they will be part of the in-crowd, if they hurry. Over the next minute you’ll see the rest who prefer to be part of the crowd, because eventually they’d be ridiculed for not joining.
And ladies and gentlemen that is how a movement is made!
Let’s recap what we learned:
- If you are a version of the shirtless dancing guy, all alone, remember the importance of nurturing your first few followers as equals, making everything clearly about the movement, not you.
- Be public.
- Be easy to follow!
- But the biggest lesson here – did you catch it? Leadership is over-glorified.
Yes it started with the shirtless guy, and he’ll get all the credit, but you saw what really happened: It was the first follower that transformed a lone nut into a leader.
There is no movement without the first follower. We’re told we all need to be leaders, but that would be really ineffective.
The best way to make a movement, if you really care, is to courageously follow and show others how to follow.
When you find a lone nut doing something great, have the guts to be the first person to stand up and join in.
