Actually its 10 in 100, unless you're also talking about the other statement that only 10% get type 1. Then you're correct

Sorry for the math snobbishness, but it doesn't matter its still a needle in the hay stack.
I agree with all the misconceptions about what people think of type 1 vs type 2. My biggest problem is diabetics who don't know the difference.
Last night while shooting pool I decided to have a drink, and my wonderful bartender friend accidentally made my drink (Jack and diet) with regular coke. She caught it before she gave it to me and took the drink back. She offered it to these guys next to me for free, and they said "Well why won't he drink it" and she said because he asked for diet. I said "I'm diabetic". The one guy said in a kinda smart a$$ tone "Well I'm diabetic too and I'll do whatever I want it doesn't matter". I wanted to slap the guy but we'll see who lives longer!!
So I guess that goes back to the point made earlier that at certain stages in types you can ignore everything and seem ok. I'll safely bet though that it'll catch up to you.
