Message: <blockquote data-quote="LesleyAnne2" data-source="post: 424899" data-attributes="member: 48536">I can kind of understand the reason why a T1 might feel resentful of T2s.Don't get me wrong I am not saying they are right to do so but I understand why some might.Diabetes is painted as a bunch of fat and lazy people who spend years making themselves sick and then costing the health service a lot of money - the media doesn't distinguish between types and so all diabetics feel tarnished.And to be fair how many of us knew much about diabetes outside of the media picture before we got our own diagnosis?However, the only way forward is to join together and be heard as one voice... we need more research into ALL diabetes including type3 and we need to work at removing the stigma and educating the masses.. maybe one person at a time.</blockquote>
