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.

Yay, Germany Number Two. /s We currently have a political debate about this here, since a citizen council and the green party suggested several rules and guidelines around healthy food. Of course, the usual people are now scared that their Schnitzel gets taken away.
