[QUOTE="Tophat1900, post: 2345592, member: 362123"] I think that even if new names were given, you'd still get people saying.... oh that's type1 or type2, because those terms have been around for so long and have become so ingrained. Medical professionals would probably do the same, we call it this now, but also known as type2 and possibly cause even more confusion. The media have no idea what they are publishing anyway, so they would still be creating confusion in the public regardless. I'm insulin deficient and require both basal and bolus insulins, but I have what is caused CF diabetes (Cystic fibrosis) related diabetes, but mine was caused by daily use of steroids. However, not all people with CF related diabetes are insulin deficient and can become insulin resistant like type2. I just call mine "insulin deficient diabetes." It takes too long to explain to people. And there will probably never be a name for it. I do call it other names, but I can't repeat those here on the forum. [/QUOTE]
