ADA Issues Recommendations to Improve Insulin Access, What is good for us, DT2?

I started my post with comments. They are usually very interesting. How people react on the issue?

Persons with Type 1 diabetes, most of whom are diagnosed in childhood, should receive free or very low cost insulin. There is no life without this hormone replacement. (RN)

 In diabetes type 1, the same as in diabetes type 2 there is no hormone Insulin Replacement. In any case when secretion of insulin is limited and does not cover human or animal body needs, Insulin must be added from outside, in shots. The Med. Pro, nurse, who very proud to share own pro opinion, there is no pro understanding. Insulin in injections never replace secreted insulin. It is Add-on medicine.

Not enough preventative measures put into placement in order to stop the spread of this disease , simple example making it free , people will abuse it , preventive screenings is the best answer to help curve the onset and keep cost down , just the plane fact of educating people and checking fasting blood sugars at the very least help explain the lifestyle changes and maybe decrease morbidity rates what good is a dead patient long term ....... dead short term will not solve anything ......(Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN/LVN)

23.1 million of Americans are diabetics. population are diabetics. 95% are diabetics type 2.  12.2% or 12 millions of Americans 65+ diabetics type 2 because of it is not "usually" but it is always diabetes type 1 diagnosed only in children. Adult diabetics diagnosed with type 2, even sugar in higher them meter llimits, 599 mg/dl, closer to Death.

Diabetes remains the 7th leading cause of death in the United States in 2015, with 79,535 death certificates listing it as the underlying cause of death, and a total of 252,806 death certificates listing diabetes as an underlying or contributing cause of death. (ADA)

It is easy to say that all those millions of diabetics just do not behave.
       Let us take a look at the types of diabetes, what are difference between two types, type 1 and type 2?
1.Diagnose.
Diagnose is the same for ether type of diabetes with one exception: only brave endo will diagnose type  Usually diagnose is "Diabetes type 2" because of in case of type 1 MD must Rx Insulin, and too little of them so brave to Rx effective but complicated medicine. This is why today Type 2 diabetes is 95% of all diabetic's population. MD Rx Metformin and then Add-on such as Invovana, Actos, or Avandia. Diabetic will die because of heart attack, and diabetes will be 'underlying condition". Take a look at diagnostic of diabetes, and there is no one tool to diagnose type of diabetes. Usually mo one test run to diagnose diabetes type 2 but the level of sugar in blood.
2. B Cells or C Peptide level.
Show me what symptoms diabetics type 1 do have and diabetics type 2 do not have? Type 1 diabetic's immune system attack own B Cells, and destroy them. What about diabetics type 2? This test never run in type 2 diabetics. The amount of B Cells in blood of diabetics type 2 is the same as it is in diabetics type 1, low. Just run this test and the result will confirm the reality of difference between types of diabetes. There are no differences.
3. Antibodies.
Usually it is said that diabetics type 2 do not have antibodies, and type 1 diabetics do have them. When? That's right. At the time of diagnose type 1 diabetics tested for antibodies, and type 2 never did. Now after diagnose and treatment, run this test another time. Is this really true that type 1 diabetics have antibodies in blood? Not at all.

    Finally, take last look at the difference between type 1 and type 2 diabetics? What is so obvious? We are very very ill, have a lot of complications, amputations, take a lot of medicine, and most important, we never get better. With time type 2 diabetics need more and more medicine, home care, disability,. And final point, diabetics type 2 die withing ten years after being diagnosed with diabetes type 2.
     What about diabetics type 1? With time they decrease dose of insulin, even it was not dramatically high at the first place. And they live full life. 50+, 60+. 70+. 90+..... . No one diabetic type 2 can stay alive for so long.
    
It is easy to blame victim but why do not try another way around? Just stop to stamp diabetics on types, and let every one of us have medicine we need. Why not?

I AM TELLING THE TRUTH FROM LONG EXPIRIENCE FOR 35 YEARS
35 % OF PEOPLE ON INSULIN FOR TYPE 2 DIABETES DON'T NEED INSULIN !!!!!
MD.  Endocrinology, Metabolism

 Now let us take a look at the 65% of diabetics type 2 who take Insulin? As MD said, they need Insulin, yes? 35% do not need Insulin, but 65% need it, and it is diabetics type 2. So, how MD see, when type 2 diabetic need Insulin and when not? And also, is this really true that all type 1 diabetics need Insulin? Many of them take less then 10 units. Some of them take about 5 units. Try any one not diabetic any type to inject 5 or 10 units. trust me, it is safe.
      As doctor I. Joslin identified Insulin Resistance it is medical condition when dose of insulin to support life is higher then 200 units, diabetics type 2, who are Insulin Resistant, cannot live without Insulin. Also 200 units daily usually is not affordable. It is $1000+ every month. About the price of rent. In addition to cost of Insulin we usually need Asthma treatment, and it is brand, never generic, so it is costly. $200 every month at least.

IT IS MORE IMPORTANT NOT TO PRESCRIBE INSULIN FOR TYPE 2 DIABETES , WHERE OTHER PRODUCTS ARE MOST OF THE TIME MORE INDICATED  - LIKE GPL1 ANALOGS, SGLT2 BLOCKERS  AND PIOGLITAZONE

 So simple. When diabetic type 2 come to clinic or ER, simple sent its away to die at home. This is usual practice in clinic or in hospital. They send us away. They do not Rx Insulin, and we cannot live without Insulin. The end of story.
