    Should type 1 diabetes be renamed?

    There seems to be some confusion. Friends, journalists, chatty strangers and even doctors confuse type 1 diabetes with type 2.  The results? At best, an annoying conversation. At worst, a dangerous misdiagnosis.  Could a new name be the answer? Or will renaming T1D simply reinforce the stigma around T2D? In our latest episode, we explore this hot button topic from every angle. We love it when listeners say hi. Drop us a text.
