You’re right. I shouldn’t have posted this.Au contraire! This is just the sort of basic science that they need to do if a cure for type 1 diabetes is going to be found. They have to do proof of principle in mammal experiments before the FDA will give an OK for testing in people.

As a Type 1, I would have been much more brutal in my response.As the parent of two Type 1's, I concur.

Don't be an idiot. LOL! You crack me up.
Six other replies were posted to 'sarasota' to inform and educate on the difference between Type I and Type II diabetes.
You make no pretense and cut right to the chase. Best laugh I've had today.

To be fair, you can be thin or of average build and develop Type 2 diabetes. Genetics plays a large part in that. (Obesity doesn't help the situation.)Thanks for posting this. I have diabetes on both sides of my family. My uncle, a fit and athletic man, was reduced to years on dialysis and 2 amputations from diabetes. My mother seems to be handling hers well, w/no problems.
Yes, obesity doesn't help, but every Type II isn't obese and many obese people don't get diabetes. Genetics plays a large part and there is subtantial evidende that inflamation also plays a large part.
I'm sick of people saying that if you didn't gain weight you wouldn't be diabetic. Back when I was diagnosed they didn't talk about pre-diabetes and diet the way they do now. With my family history, if I had known what I do now, I would have been eating a diabetic diet even w/o a diagnosis, they way many docs suggest now.
Anyway, /rant. I'm just tired of people blaming diabetics for their disease.

As you may have learned from reading other posts, I stand corrected. And there’s really no need for name calling.
