Message: <blockquote data-quote="catherinecherub" data-source="post: 195863">What did all of us know about Type 2 before diagnosis?  Unless we were involved with a family member or friend with it then I doubt that we knew much about it either, why would we know about it?We know what it is because we have this condition but I think that the majority of us were as ignorant about it as are the people we complain about who do not understand it.We see signatures here of Type 2's who want to distance themselves from the stereotypical image, "Not overweight", "An unusual case".  They didn't realise that it is more than a weight issue.I knew very little about Type 1 either other than my grandmother had to weigh her food and inject herself and was unwell at times.  I still do not know a great deal about it and I am sure many Type 1's do not fully understand Type 2.What do we know about Cancer, M.S., Dementia, Mental Health and other conditions?</blockquote>
