[QUOTE="kegstore, post: 112023, member: 16530"] Wow, what a can of worms just opened! Just one question: why is it ignorant not to feel obliged to launch into a diatribe about the condition(s) with anyone and everyone who can be bothered to listen? That's anything else, but certainly not ignorance. I also pay little attention to what others might think of me, which really is their problem not mine. This thread has highlighted an issue that I've sometimes thought about, which is the classification of the diseases: given that there are so many differences between the types of diabetes, is the only reason they're lumped together under the one title of "diabetes" the overlap with [u]some[/u] of the physiological aspects, symptoms, treatments etc? There often seem to be more differences than similarities? Possibly why tempers get frayed so often in forums such as these? I know a great deal about Type 1, but considerably less about Type 2 and would never dream of offering advice on the subject specifics. Just a thought. [/QUOTE]
