Upon re-reading that sentence, I see it now. While I could argue the nomenclature confusing -- having always distinguished them as IDDM and NIDDM -- "insulin independent" <I>does</I> appear frequently in the online searches I made.

I said that type 2 diabetes is insulin-<B>in</B>dependent, which I believe is the same as non-insulin-dependent. Thanks for the comment, I'm glad there's lots of people out there ready to pounce on any factual errors I make!CNDhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05349466286549537039[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37623912.post-87778011518703591642007-05-23T22:44:00.000-04:002007-05-23T22:44:00.000-04:00Just a slight correction: Type 2 (adult-onset) diabetes is NON-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. Although insulin injections may be required as an adjunct, the disease is usually treated with oral medications -- one of which is Avandia. Another notable category would be the sulfonylureas.voxluna[email protected]
