not needed if everyone adds a simple disclaimer to there signature
like you and I do, stating which type of diabetic we are. and
occasionally throw into the body of the post the same admission that
loretta always does when discussing this with a diabetic who is not
the same type she is. she normally says something I am not a type 1
but I just want to say,,,,,,,

the reason being that even though both have many things that a very
different they also have many things that are very similar. and we
can learn from each other, and many type 2s will eventually start
taking insulin and will benefit from the experiences of the type 1s
and other insulin using type 2s.

Unity will help us more than separation.
