What soap box?

You can generally pick out the T 2 diabetics, usually they are the fat ones. T1 usually are skinny. I have seen T 2 diabetics that are not even teenagers yet, which is pretty infuriating really. I sort of look at it that T2 make bad decisions, T1 are just unlucky. I have known dozens and dozens of diabetics, T2 of course, who have made changes and gone from being on insulin to being diet controlled. Of course I have known thousands who did not do a GD thing about it. Too many have ignored my advice and died or lost a leg. I just don't get that part at all. You have the guy in the white coat spend hours explaining that if you do this or that, you are going to lose a leg. They don't do anything different and end up with a prosthetic leg, then are all woe is me, I lost my leg.

If you really want to get a little terrified, go spend some time at a dialysis center.
