" Halle says she worked herself up from type 1 to type 2..."

Gee, I guess I must work harder to rid myself of this dependance on insulin....!

I appreciate this is a hangover from the days of 'insulin dependant' and 'non insulin dependant' categorisation but such a shame to see someone so in the public eye, who could do real things to help people's understanding of the condition, continuing some of the myths, particularly as (despite some notable exceptions) I feel there have been some improvments in reporting in recent months.
 
Yeah I read about Halle Berry a while ago. What an idiot! She doesn't have a clue.
 
I read that article in the paper Northerner and thought it was a really well written piece - by Dr Mark Porter. You posted about it quicker than me! Unfortunately they used Halles pic - buit well written and accurate was more important!
 
She was diagnosed with type 1 in 1989. You would think she would have learnt about the differences between the two types by now and maybe explained it in the press so that she could educate people like herself in future :/
