Is it a coincidence that as manuals disappear there is an overwhelming increase of idiots on the road? Manuals it would seem , make the better driver. More aware of the car, what its doing and surrounding factors. You have to be focused on driving. Most that have autos seem to be oblivious to everything, other vehicles, road rules, common courtesy. Nothing like switching off into a day dream only to be brought back to reality after a crash. If autos make driving easier, it follows that those who couldnt cope with a manual are allowed on the road.
Hope the expert can fix this. Sometimes things are so bad its just best to start all over again and do it correctly.Interestingly, when a company is on the brink of failure the first thing consultants do is get rid of the management - the cause of all the problems.

T2 is genetic and by far the most common. You may be able to control by changing your lifestyle, but not always. You cant control your genetics. Then again, sadly a lot of T2s dont bother. Which leads to the idea among the uneducated that all T2 are overweight and dont exercise. Surprisingly, a high percentage of T1s think that is the case. Nobody knows what causes T1 but studies have clearly shown it is increasing more rapidly than T2. That hints at external factors. Environmental and the mothers lifestyle are coming under scrutiny. There are so many factors involved with T2 that any potential diabetes cure will be T1 first.
