This article is a good example of what one commenter remarked about in response to another article .... even in a knowledgeable, useful, and thoughtful publication like this specializing in covering diabetes, the statistics make no distinctions between Type I and Type II. When that's the case, how can we expect the rest of the media or the public to make the distinction?
