[QUOTE="Dark Horse, post: 2089767, member: 52527"] Not 'some' - the majority of people call it type 1 diabetes (mellitus). I don't know of anyone who calls it BCA, whether in the medical profession or not. Wouldn't it be better to say something like, 'I think what you're saying might apply to someone with type TWO diabetes but I have type ONE diabetes which is a completely different medical condition'? That way, you are helping to educate the people who are unaware of the difference and thereby reducing the chances of 'misinformation' being given to someone else. If you want to use an analogy you could say it's like the difference between chicken soup and tomato soup - both are called 'soup' but you wouldn't find chicken soup on the menu in a vegetarian restaurant.
