Please forgive me if I am reading this the wrong way, but it sounds like several of you are of the opinion that people with Type 2 bring it on themselves or it is a shameful thing. Am I misreading what you are saying?

Drummingfool: When I was younger, I would have said that type of comment to a Type I. I grew up reading Babysitter's Club, and it talks a lot about Stacy and the diet she had to follow. One boy who was part of our theatre organization in middle school had diabetes and I remember being shocked he could eat sugar. Not because I had any experience with people with Type 2, but because of the Babysitter's Club books. (In her defense, she did research it and talk to a doctor friend. That was a common treatment when they were written).
