[QUOTE="Gazhay, post: 119320, member: 21329"] As the medical problem behind type 1 and type is different, it would make sense. Type 1 - inability to produce insulin Type 2 - resistance to insulin I understand it might not be as clear cut as that, but it would seem to call both conditions one "global" name is not helping either camp. As for public perception, well, there will always be ignorant people who know nothing about either or both types and result in poor attitudes towards diabetics, if that is the main reason for changing the name then it isn't going to help.
