Nah that's pretty accurate.

Type 1 is characterized by an autoimmune response against the beta cells specifically. There are other type 1-ish conditions that can be caused by pancreatitis for example. And then there is of course LADA, double-diabetes etc.

Conversely a type 1s pancreas still produces insulin early on especially in the remission/honey moon phase where they might not even need injections for months (this is where all the people who are not educated on it or falling for health gurus trip up)

Iirc more recent research has also shown that T1Ds produce small amounts of insulin. But not enough to really be clinically relevant.

(Got the sake of brevity, diabetes here refers to diabetes mellitus cause nobody ever talks about insipidus)

Ugh don't you hate it when an active connection blocks the use of the stargate network for everyone.

Truly a 90s moment.

It is weird how "coal country" seems to hate EVs when they could run them on coal (not that they should, of course). Their natural enemy is clearly oil!

Not only that, according to his lore they also had psionic powers and could make stuff levitate.

Wonder if they were friends with the lost civilization on Mars (yes, he also believes this)...
