More Evidence, Type 2 Is Idiopathic Hyperglycemia

This time it is a doctor in the United
Kingdom calling for a name change for type 2 diabetes. I think this
has more merit than the name change for type 1 diabetes will ever
have. Edwin Gale, MD, of Southmead Hospital, Bristol, United Kingdom
wants the name to be idiopathic hyperglycemia. I don't envision this
name sticking, but it is more descriptive than type 2 diabetes.
