I was just reviewing posts on this article as well as the comments on the WSJ comment board.

I am wondering is it possible that type I diabetes more often affects White kids, while type II affects more Blacks?

There was some doctor that seems to do actuarial type work for medical groups, posting on the WSJ about the article didn’t separate type I and type II diabetes. I told him that the article didn’t separate them because WA state does not separate them and that the article was actually referring to Type I, childhood diabetes.

I actually think it would be useful if the two conditions had completely different names. They have similar consequences, but completely different causes and treatments. It just confuses people to refer to both of them as diabetes.
