I feel like I am in limbo as when I was diagnosed last week as having diabetes the specialist at the local hospital believed it to be T1 due to high ketones plus other symptoms and has sent off a blood sample to another hospital to confirm which type whilst starting me on insulin. But the diabetic nurses I have seen since seem to be convinced I am T2 saying it is unusual for someone over 40 to be diagnosed as T1. I just feel really frustrated by the conflicted opinions and I suppose really want to know has anyone else gone through this state of being in limbo?
