Whilst respecting your opinion
@TorqPenderloin , I have to disagree with your reasoning "2.) Type 3c (Pancreatic Diabetes)- I understand it's a completely separate type and people didn't want to feel left out, but creating this subsection has had the opposite effect from its intent....9 threads, the majority of which are about people asking what type 3c is."
On November 24th when the 3c sub-forum started there were only two active type 3c posters on this forum. Today, 42 days later (including two holiday periods where I believe the forum generally had less posters) there are now 11 members who are acknowledging they are type 3C, and three other who are exploring the possibility via their medical practitioner. Yes there have been people asking what type 3C is - as a rare but increase form of diabetes that was one if the main reasons for creating the subsection, not as you seem to think because 'people didn't want to feel left out'. I also do not understand your comment that 'creating this subsection has had the opposite effect from its intent' I think a five fold identification of people with a specific rare form of diabetes in 5weeks is an achievement not a failure!! I also believe that a forum that claims to be specifically for diabetes should be inclusive not discriminatory or are we just sideways sliding back towards the type 1/type 2 separation argument again??
By the way
@Administrator , type 3c has had 97 posts in 42 days, but pre-diabetes has had 107, only 10 more - why us there no discussion about that subsection??
