All of us Type 1s get mildly annoyed when "diabetes" is lumped into a single disease. While sympathetic to Type 2s, we have a different causality and different treatment.
To end the confusion and potential for mis-information, a doctor proposed a new name for Type 1 diabetes - "Autoimmune Insulin Depletion Syndrome", or AIDS for short.
Realizing that there is already a disease called AIDS, he also proposed that, to avoid confusion, we refer to the newly named T1 diabetes as - Type 2 AIDS.
That should clear up any confusion.
