They need to separate the (at least) 60% of type-2 diabetic patients whose disease is caused by self-inflicted obesity from the people with type-1 diabetes (and the 10% of type-2 diabetic patients who aren&#x27;t obese.)<p>See this study on nih.gov: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov&#x2F;pubmed&#x2F;17227327" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov&#x2F;pubmed&#x2F;17227327</a> &quot;60% of cases of [type 2] diabetes could have been prevented if everyone had been of normal weight.&quot;<p>To those type-2 diabetics that are obese, they should be strongly encouraged to lose weight rather than depending on our insulin supply.<p>I think it would be a good idea to rename obesity-induced diabetes as &quot;Obesity Related Metabolic Syndrome&quot; (ORMS) to separate those with type-1 or non-obese type-2 diabetes from those who chose the obese lifestyle and got sick.
