an idea...
Brian,
I have seen many thin diabetics. Sometimes in adulthood,
Type I can surface. Type I is an autoimmune disease and if the attack on the pancreas comes then, well, the person may be misdiagnosed as Type II.
I knew a nurse who had this, and almost died due to poor medical management. A friend's husband became Type I diabetic at 43.
By the time type II arrives for others, about 1/2 of the pancreas can be gone. So the best way to approach type II for some is to use insulin instead of oral drugs.
