Well, I just got my assumptions about Type 1 busted wide open. There ain’t no simple with diabetes

For those of you who aren’t aware, I am T2 but am keenly interested in all forms of diabetes mellitus. I have close friends and former co-workers with T1. So this morning this popped up in my morning email

First looking at the toon, another Dan Heller masterpiece, I was confused as to what point he was making. Before reading the article, I did a search on non, functional, low and Max autoimmune, Then I read the article.

So, Type 1 is now divided into 2 subtypes A & B. The article suggests that research to develop cures of T1B should be given more consideration rather than 100% on the thorny problems of T1A.

Now that is interesting, but what is the cause of non-autoimmune T1? Is this confusing T1 with MODY or something else? I just hate the term idiopathic- 5 syllables to say “We don’t know.”

I changed my profile years ago to reflect the craziness of all the different types.

Click on my name and look at what type I have!

Just seemed easier than always trying to explain it all. :grinning_face:
