I know locally of 2 people who are diabetic, they don't even seem sure as to what type "you know, the one where I take the pills" seems to be the retort if I ask.
The online community seems a lot more focussed in the cause/issues/treatment.
We are at the first stage in history where patients are treating patients with online forums.
Some folks who are not tech savy or analytical are missing out on the best current advice when it comes to treatments.
They may be stuck in a progressive chronic rut where it's all downhill without any hope so why try.
What percentage of the active disease conscious community do you believe we make up ?
I'm starting to think that GP practices have basically given up on diabetics due to lack of lifestyle intervention observed on their part.
