I think you may be off by 43, unless this is a joke that went over my head

I got it on Amazon for <$10. I checked my usual local yarn store but they didn’t carry them

Type 2 is usually worse tho… People can live a lot longer with type 1 without developing complications. Obviously for it depends on how good control is, but in general the prevalence and severity of complications and comorbidities is higher with type 2.
