I&#x27;m type 1 and I don&#x27;t mind jabs about weight. Diabetes isn&#x27;t a completely random autoimmune disease; some of us have it because of our mothers&#x27; diets, bad periods of sickness during childhood and so on. Late adult type 1 diabetics can often point to overwork, bad diet and some type 1s likely have issues with fatty pancreas disease (those with very low, but existent, c peptide, for example.)  I believe we would have fewer type 1 diabetics in a healthier country. I also think that, though type 1s aren&#x27;t as obese as type 2s on average, we can always do better at reducing our need for insulin and keeping ourselves fit and mostly well-functioning. I don&#x27;t believe we have much to gain from telling people not to lump us in with pure type 2s as if we are a protected class.
