They need to change the stupid name already. Hypoinsulinomia and caloroglucitis, or something.

So totally agree. Especially when I learned of how many young type 1s have eating disorders because they think they must be fat :(
That the general population does not distinguish between Type I and Type II Diabetes it an unfortunate fact of life.
But that someone who is diagnosed with Type I Diabetes does not inform himself about it and learn about the difference is simply inexcusable stupidity.

Totally. The fact that Type 1 and Type 2 share a name, and a "type" is insane.
