Hey everyone,
I've got a unique story that I haven't come across any articles about, and I'm curious if anyone else has had a similar experience. Nine years ago, I was diagnosed as a Type 1 Diabetic (at the age of 20). However, at my recent appointment, I was informed that I might be a Type 1.5 diabetic, pending the results of my c-peptide test since the antibody results came back negative.
Adapting to life as a Type 1 diabetic over the past 9 years has shaped my mindset, and now, I'm trying to wrap my head around the possibility of being Type 1.5. I'm reaching out to the forum to see if anyone has encountered something similar. Most of what I've read has focused on Type 2 misdiagnoses, so I'm curious if anyone has insights into being misdiagnosed as a Type 1.
Also, if anyone has ideas on how this potential misdiagnosis might have adversely affected me over the past decade, I would greatly appreciate your input. Thanks!
