In my opinion, and as I have observed it, the only time I see any resistance to write home about is where a poster is somewhat outspoken on a topic - It often happens when T1s get fed up of being grouped by the great unknowing-un-washed-public with T2s who are (usually by the protester's opinion) who have brought diabetes upon themselves.
To be clear, this post isn't aimed at anyone, just stating what I have seen and my interpretation of how others have reacted.
I'll say it again, as I have many times on the forum, diabetes is a portfolio disease, with much common ground, but many differences. Not all T1s take insulin (e.g. those who are on honeymoon), not all T2s are overweight. Not all dementia sufferers have T3, and not everyone who has suffered pancreatic disease gets T3c. Some will; some won't, and some are more seriously afflicted, whatever type of diabetes they have.
@Administrator have raised their hand to an error, apologised and stated they have corrected the issue. Surely, with such a complex and potentially unforgiving condition, we should have pretty open minds when things don't quite go right.
I know I have tried very hard to grasp control of my diabetes, and thus far, it seems to be going well, but that is with the support and considerable goodwill of this site, and it's contributors of all types. Without it, I would not have progressed as I have.
