If she is from a medical background as she claims, she should know that only *TYPE 2 diabetes* is related to obesity and can be prevented. What about those with autoimmune Type 1 diabetes? LADA? MODY? Cystic Fibrosis induced diabetes? Kir6.2 neonatal diabetes? Why perpetuate the ignorance that most of us Type 1 diabetics already face? There is such a lack of Type 1 diabetes/autoimmune diabetes knowledge out there that I am sure I am going to die in a hospital...from the ignorance of the *staff*...
