[QUOTE="Mep, post: 1118970, member: 211362"] I've yet to see any accurate information published where I live on type 2. They tend to get type 1 correct and explain it is auto immune. When it comes to any other type of diabetes they seem to fail to know what causes any of them. They bang on about lifestyle here as well, so much so that one time my family said to me "don't you have that lifestyle disease". I flipped and told them off. They don't know I have PCOS as I have never told them and quite frankly it isn't their business. I just wished media would tell the whole truth. But then when do they ever do that with anything? I figure it's my job to educate those I come in contact with which sometimes even includes diabetics who don't understand what I'm dealing with. [/QUOTE]
