PLEASE... As the parent of two Type 1 Diabetic children, I wish you would refer to diabetes as type 1 or 2. Writing questions like this continues to confuse people. I cannot tell you how many people ask me when my children will outgrow this disease... Or ask me if they ate a lot of sugar, and that is why they are diabetic. The medical community could do more to educate folks!! Thanks...

Hi Kari, 
 
This is a great question; the problem is that the answer is not as simple as we think. Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in some cases becomes full blown Type 1 over time or under some circumstances. Type 1 sometimes goes into a "honeymoon" phase where it is less aggressive. So the bottom-line is, as long as we continue to monitor the numbers and look at each case individually we will avoid complications. 
 
Thanks,
