      Type 1 diabetes only accounts for 5-10% of cases so you can assume that the numbers most likely mostly come from type 2 diabetes cases. I agree that this is making the data more imprecise than necessary but not completely useless.

      Exactly. Type 1 is an autoimmune disease and type 2 is a disease caused by obesity and an unhealthy diet, for example.
