I'm just happy that you got something out of a post I wrote!<BR/><BR/>I share your frustration on the media lumping us all together and have wrote many a letter to "The Editor" on this issue.<BR/><BR/>If "certain foods" could cure or cause Type 1, I know that we'd all be chowing down or staying away from said foods. It's amazing how little research those who write the diabetes articles for mainstream publications actually do. There are two types of diabetes out there amn both are drastically different from one another!<BR/>Looking forward to reading about u on Tu Diabetes and please come on over to visit anytime!<BR/>Keep DOING what your doing w/the letter writing and you WILL be heard!<BR/>k2k2https://www.blogger.com/profile/04167099133092135850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9175362385039466640.post-82925750927942225232008-04-17T13:40:00.000-04:002008-04-17T13:40:00.000-04:00Kelly, I'm sorry to submit a comment so late, but ...Kelly, I'm sorry to submit a comment so late, but I wanted to say thanks for this post. It frustrates me to no end that the media lumps us all together!! Just this morning I wrote two letters to the editor (one to O Magazine, and one to Health magazine) and begged them to differentiate between the two types, because they kept publishing articles saying that certain foods and habits "increase the risk of diabetes." I asked them to please say TYPE 2 diabetes from now on, and explained that Type 1 is not related to lifestyle and is not preventable. My next letter will be to Runner's World, because I saw the same thing in their most recent issue.<BR/>Who knows if these letters will help, but at least I know I tried!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9175362385039466640.post-529364366989942892008-04-08T02:06:00.000-04:002008-04-08T02:06:00.000-04:00I worked across st. from 20 somethin with type 1, ...I worked across st. from 20 somethin with type 1, we talked about it, I never knew anyone with it b4; my mom was dx typeII in her late 60s, she was clueless about type I.

I think this may because so many people at risk for developing type 2 diabetes are ignoring the risk factors and signs. <BR/><BR/>Off topic, I just read this alarming article and thought you everyone might want to check it out. I'd be really interested in your thoughts about the validity of this - the author makes some pretty bold claims "Up to one-third of women with Type 1 diabetes skip or skimp on insulin doses in a dangerous attempt to lose weight" <BR/><BR/>Dying to be thin<BR/>http://www.boston.com/news/health/articles/2008/03/31/dying_to_be_thin/?p1=Well_MostPop_Emailed5teh4https://www.blogger.com/profile/03384907217005525400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9175362385039466640.post-65277707099175641102008-04-02T12:30:00.000-04:002008-04-02T12:30:00.000-04:00it would be AWESOME if the general population coul...it would be AWESOME if the general population could know the difference.<BR/><BR/>i think the first step is renaming type 2, because it's a totally different disease.<BR/><BR/>i propose halfabetes. orundiabetes.<BR/><BR/>or maybe, just maybe type 2 is what diabeetis is?<BR/><BR/>but different names, less confusion.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9175362385039466640.post-22273822334398014402008-04-02T08:38:00.000-04:002008-04-02T08:38:00.000-04:00That's a great analogy!
