Though I live in dread of getting it, I am not that knowledgeable about diabetes. But, I knew of Type 1 & 2, & the difference between the two. {So, I knew that IF got it it would be Type 2.} I had never heard of any other types of diabetes.
So, I was surprised & a bit put out to hear them talking, in some detail, about Diabetes Type MODI in this surprisingly GOOD French mini-series the ‘Black Butterflies‘. I first thought that it was a French thing. The series though amazingly well DUBBED into English is very French. So, my first take is that MODY must be a French term for Type 1 or 2. So, I had to Google it. Fancy that. There is indeed a Type MODY & it is not even a French term. Wow.
So, something else I have now learnt from watching Netflix. I learn a lot from the Netflix stuff I watch; e.g., frequency of earthquakes in Japan, the open existence of Cannibalism Forums on the Web with REGISTERED USERS!
‘Black Butterflies’ is worth watching. Quite the story. I had to go check whether it was based on a real story. Appears not. Quite the clever plot.
Here is an ‘Anu Special‘ aside. Struck me that two of the BEST original French cinematic efforts I have seen both have ‘Butterfly’ in their titles. Just a coincidence. IF you haven’t see this 1973 movie — or READ the very long book — you should think about doing so. I have read the book & seen the movie.
