Type 1's are sort of forced to take an active role in diabetes management from the get-go, but with type 2's taking an active role is often optional..... at least for a while. My Dad has type 2, is on Glipizide, does not own a glucometer, and would no more check out a diabetes message board than he would take up figure skating. I suspect there are a lot more type 2's like my Dad than there are like the ones who post here who take their disease and their health seriously.
