Why Is It That We Talk Mostly Abt Type 2 Diabetes Not Also Abt Type 1?

A DiabetesTeam Member asked a question 💭
Pretoria, ZA

I knw some of the people living with diabetes don't know which type do they fall under, so they need to be taught Abt both types and their differences.

More people have type to .so far more of those participating here are type2. Maybe one of the embassators could help you find a team with more Type1 participants

Your doctor's will tell you what type you have. 1- 2

90 to 95% of all diabetics are Type 2, about 5% are Type 1 and LADA and MODY make up the last 5 percent

And coming soon there is going to be other resources specifically for Type 1's - this team was initially started to serve Type 2 members
