Always surprised to see how diabetes coverage in the popular press blurs the difference between Type I ("juvenile") and Type II ("adult onset").

- dsharp 15y agoI totally agree, but I think calling Type 1 "juvenile" is misleading as well. My wife developed Type 1 when she was in her twenties.
- wycats 15y agoSimilarly, it's become possible for children to become Type II diabetics, which coincides with a massive increase in obesity (probably both caused by a root cause).
