A member asked:
Why are there more studies done on type 2 diebeties then type 1?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Studies: 90% of diabetics are type 2. Thus, learning something from a study in type 2 will have impact to more people. Plus, if a drug works for type 2, you can make more money since you can sell it to 90% of the diabetic population rather than the 10%.
