Now I wish I could name my diabetes something bad **s... T2 is lame indeed.Type 2s can sometimes be put on insulin as well
I agree that the differing forms/types of diabetes should have different names and not just "type"
Type 1 and 2 are totally different conditions, totally different. And should never be viewed as the same.
But to be fair, the risk of the same sort complications if the condition is left unchecked for prolonged periods are the same.

Regardless of "type."
Personally, I'd rather focus on my meter than a new "branding" of what I got.
Lol, the product still has the same "great taste." & cleans whiter than other leading brands!
Occasionally, I put the odd "tiger in my tank" but that's just me being a bit vorprung dork with the technique..
I wouldn't disagree with this in principle but it should be added that type 2 is largely synonymous with hyperinsulinemia and all the potential complications of metabolic syndrome that come with it - heart disease, hypertension etc. The average type 2 may be dealing with the aftermath of decades spent in metabolic meltdown prior to diagnosis, as well as poor glycemic control. Not that one type is any more desirable than the other, but the subject of complications is most certainly nuanced.
Hi Jim,
I accept your thoughts. But is possible for a T1 especially a Young ' un to get away with it for years with dodgy managment. (We all feel indestructible at that age.)
Only to be pipped at the post "wiv summat" just as they get to grips with it?
So I see similarities in that respect. The only difference being regrettably too much "sand" in the ears of the T1?
Also a valid point, and well made.

Still think that all types of diebetes should have a different name
People have no idea on types of diabetes, I get told a lot that I dont look like a diabetic! And that is because the papers and social media portray diabetes as being overweight - please don't shoot me....I KNOW thats not correct!!
