Type 2 for teens is actually a great idea because they are the ultimate after thought in comparison to teen type 1....

Yes....this is a fav. spot for many type 2....but needs to be fueled. I too am guilty. I've only mentioned some of the other groups(It's a short list; there are more!) that may be of interest to those with type 2, as Christalyn seemed to be interested in knowing of other Type 2 groups/postings/blogs :)

I have to agree with picklebird, this is still my favorite forum and I spend very little time looking at other forums and never post on the others.

The groups I've mention below are possibilities for Type 2....along with many other groups. That said....the content and "meat" of the groups (as with THIS group) depends entirely on the members!!

Ok....I've started a new group....
Type 2 Teens!!! It's awaiting approval.

There aren't any administrative roles for either type.

Your multiple ???? made it seem that you were upset. Sorry you feel T2 is treated as an after thought. Content is what members choose to post, as BadMoon pointed out.

Actually, those other sites you've mentioned don't say so much as this one does! I can't speak for all T2, of course, but you can guess when my sugar control is less than optimal from just the fact I post here then (stress relief?). When all's right with the world, I'm busy living my life and trying not to think about diabetes anymore than I have to.

Keep in mind that Type 2 members are also likely to post in other groups relevant to their type of diabetes, besides this one, such as...
* Metformin 4 Us
* A1C Below 6.0 on Diet and Exercise ONLY
* Needle Diabetics (folks taking insulin with syringes or pens)
* Insulin Dependent Type 2
* Thin Type 2 Diabetics
* Diabetes Plus
This group is as relevant as you make it....Type 2 is far from an afterthought!
That said....it might be worth considering a group geared at Type 2 Teens!!!
Be well all....linda

There is a lack of T2 content on this site, but that fact has nothing to do with the administration. We T2's don't post as many discussions here. Perhaps it's because most T2's are not on insulin and insulin use just generates more topics for discussion. TuD is an excellent resource for insulin users IMHO.

I just took a look at the Diabetes Daily Forum there are 6124 T1 threads and 10009 T2 threads. 24 viewing T1 threads and 62 viewing T2. Perhaps it's just a vicious cycle. T2's come here and find little content relevant to them and so tend to go elsewhere.

We have met the enemy and he is us, perhaps we all just need to post more often.

There aren't any T1 administrative roles, either. That was her point. The tuD organization structure makes no distinction. There are just administrative roles, period.
