Some of the best advice that is directed at type 2s on this group is
by Old Al. He was initially diagnosed as a type 2 but was a LADA and
eventually classified as a type 1.

There are probably many different kinds of type 2s. Different
combinations of genes may promote type 2 susceptibility. I suppose
there would be a need to subdivide type 2s by their genetic makeup.
There are even gender differences when it comes to type 2s.
