As one of the many misdiagnosed as T2, I especially appreciate this blog. At 25 years old, I spent nearly six months (and 40 pounds) on oral meds before someone figured out that I was really a T1. It’s sad that the (old) labels are still influencing the current diagnoses.
As for EV’s comments . . . seriously? Does everything have to have some political agenda? Not only is your position incredibly insulting and RACIST, it’s also incorrect and not relevant to this blog. I’m so unbelievably tired of every comment being about how awful Caucasians are or how everyone is against gays and lesbians, or any of the other comments about how white/straight people are evil. The pharma industry is driven by profits not race/gender/sexuality. /rant
As always, another great blog, Melitta!
