Well personally I think it would be a terrible idea that would only succeed in causing an us and them situation from both camps and what about those unfortunate members with LADA and MODY where would they fit in or that even rarer group who like myself have Steroid Induced Diabetes (SID) also known as New Onset Steroid Induced Diabets. What about us?
In fact in my own case I was started on MDI treatment which I was on for a year before gaining good enough control to stop insulin altogether, now whilst I would never claim to be an expert on T1 I do have some
small knowledge of insulin and its effects and usage.
And more importantly as others have said I have received some great help, encouragement and support from most T1's and would hate to see them only allowed to post to certain parts of the forum.
I belong to a fishing forum where there are people who fish specifically for particular species of fish, there are those who only fish in the sea and those who only fish in fresh water, some in lakes and others in rivers some very strange anglers only fish for game fish
but you know the one thing we all share in common is that we are all have fishing fever, its our common condition.
So cant we all get along and encourage each other here, we all have diabetes which causes the same diabetic complications if we ignore it, we have an awful lot in common and should all be pulling together not trying to split ourselves into sub divisions.
