There's currently no cure for Type 1 diabetes, an actual genetic disorder. Sounds like some awareness is needed. People need to be aware that there is a difference. Stop making diabetes a fat person's disease. Even if Type 1's take care of themselves, they still run the risk of blindness, amputation, organ failure, early death, etc. regardless of early detection. No need to belittle one disease to make another seem worse. They can both suck.
