Hi George,
We made the decision to focus on T2D as there are actions that can be taken in the family that also involve children that can prevent T2D. I had a team of topic experts to help us and the consensus was to put a bit of information on the back about Type 1.
Having said that your comments have been noted and will be considered at our next review of the poster.
Thank you so much for responding.
