the propensity score matching didn't control for severity of T2D

Did it control for severity of obesity (e.g., BMI)? DOC328 posted a response to me that says the propensity matching should have but I don't see that in the full article, e.g., the table of clinical characteristics does not even mention BMI. So far as I can tell, they just matched for either overweight (BMI between 25 and 29.9) and obese (BMI 30 and over). The Ed Livingston tweet doesn't cover that point.

Is_this_strictly_for type 2 diabetes, versus type 1?

I.e., T2D Implies Type two diabetes, often associated with obese patients, as opposed to type one diabetics, who are born that way, and have to start taking insulin from a very young age.

I’m told that as young children they are given a banana or an orange to start stabbing with a needle so they can get used to doing it into their own skin in order to deliver insulin.

That, plus watching what you eat from childhood, can’t be a lot of fun.

How does that thesis gibe with the study’s findings in the non-T2D study group?
