[QUOTE="catherinecherub, post: 119055"] Perhaps Type 2's need to be taken as seriously as Type 1's? A divide is not something that needs to be considered surely? We all have a chronic disease and how we got here isn't going to make a lot of difference. I have heard Type 2 called, self inflicted, a mild form of diabetes, over-consumption of sugar, I could go on. Empathy starts here and we really get enough stick without it dividing this topic. Do we really need to hang our heads in shame? I, for one, am not prepared to do that. I thought the principle here was to help each other and we cannot do that if some participants feel that their diabetes is worse than someone else's. [/QUOTE]
