The Stigma of Being a Type 2
I know you're not replying to me, but excuse me for butting in on this, as your reply is perfect for my point. I know lots of health zealots who think, at age 50, if you become a vegan or stop smok...

Virgil Elvin Bowman Jr. said… - Hi Grant, as a T1 I hold the opinion that diabetes is diabetes. Not all treatments for T1s are the same and the same is true for T1.5s and T2s. There should be no stigma on any diabetic nor should anyone take lightly what another D is enduring. We're all on this journey together, so why not support eachothers well-being, rights and feelings. Take good care and stay well. Virgil in Portland, OR

Kelly Rawlings said… - I agree that type 1 and type 2 (and other more rare types) are very different diseases. But because we share the need to control blood glucose levels, blood pressure, and blood lipids to prevent, minimize, and delay complications, all people living with diabetes share some common ground.
I like that melting pot, and the various viewpoints. And the fact those of us who visit here often are motivated to help each other. Welcome!
