[QUOTE="searley, post: 2348040, member: 31377"] I don't struggle I know exactly what the difference is... but most others don't the just hear the word diabetic. And most when you talk to them describe T2 and assume it easy/safe/curable Even some t2 i know assume they are t1 just because they take a small amount of insulin Even some of the GP's and Nurses I have dealt with are not that great between the difference..... and when I was admitted to hospital with a suspected heart attack the hospital was terrible in general about diabetes I think different terms should be used to differentiate the types [/QUOTE]
