  This looks to be a treatment for Type 2, the parent comment's talking about multiple children, so, probably Type 1. At least, I hope so.

    My exact thought, but still, why have multiple sick children?!
    • parrellel 8y ago
      Type 1 usually doesn't mean a child is Born sick. There's usually some triggering illness and then the immune system decides that it's time to fuck up the pancreas. While there's a genetic element to it, there's usually nothing saying some specific kid is going to get it. So, you get a cold sometime between the ages of ~2 and 18 and suddenly you're islet cells go bye-bye.

    Yes, kids have T1D. A T2D treatment would be entirely useless if not harmful.
