Just ask a diabetic. Hint, the condition of diabetes isn't just a
switch. it appearts to be a gradual slide into the condition and
the type is determined by the speed of response, if any to blood
glucose levels. Type 1 & 2 are just another division to classify
the remaining level of response. Some, older, experienced
endocrynologist often talk about five or more types/classification
based on observation of patients

No. Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes are both called diabetes. But they
are not really related. Type 1 is a non functioning of the pancreas
producing the hormone insulin. Type 2 is the body not using the
insulin produced correctly. Both can end up with the same affect.

Are you saying that they are caused by two entirely different sets of
genes?

Type 1 is a genetic defect with typical onset in teenage years. Type 2
diabetes is more a lifestyle or nutrition-related "old-age" effect with
typical onset in the 40's, only recent wide-spread obesity has brought
type 2 diabetes with early onset.

More often type 2 onset is with overweight 50 year olds. My
sister-in-law is a nurse who develops programs for diabetics and it is
quite surprising how many of them will not stick to their program and
die.

Perhaps your sister isn't credible. Not a dietician is she?
Over here their credibility is nil. The fact that their annual conference
is heavily sponsored by the sugar industry goes down a treat.
They have also been guilty about jumping onto a few fadish diets.
Just like the quacks, these ancillary medical personnel have been guilty
of "killing people" with their "prescriptions".

Sadly, a lot of diet problems can stem from the fads in what children are
taught in school, where healthy diet components come and go. Learning at
home has always had its problems and doesn't do basic food well.

She is a registered nurse and dietician that runs a federally funded program and not a sugar producer ****** like you aussies seem to think of anything free market.
