Onset of Type 1 Diabetes In Adults: The Need For Correct Diagnosis And Treatment

Hi Melitta:

Great write-up. The question is, how to make a big enough splash that neither the medical community nor general public can ignore what seems to be a rapidly escalating incidence? Do you think it’s time for a revolution?

If so, I’m in!

Actually, I’m amazed that Type 2 research does get so much attention and funding since a disproportionate number of T2s are from communities of color (the dispensibles). I recall the first days of what was then known as GRID (now HIV), when funding was almost non-existent; it wasn’t until HIV began affecting Caucasians that government funding became available.
