[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 847150, member: 21149"] In my experience many GPs including the two diabetes ones who have treated me are just not aware of Late onset T1 hence only know of people born with T1 or if older have T2. They have an extremely symplistic view of the world hence any desire to question further (even if they had the time) isn't there. DUK have a similar Black/White view of diabetes types. The result is that all the NHS statistics are probably worthless and there is a poor base to work from. DUK and others pour lots of money into research some of which is no doubt valuable but I wonder how many start from surveying people like us. Many of your points may be valid but until GPs and so on listen to their patients and research is based on what is actually happening out there I don't see knowledge changing fast. BTW I'm recorded by the NHS as a T2 despite always being thin but neither of my GPs took any notice that I was thin let alone recorded it as statistic. I supect my LADA was a virus or some other non-autoimmune inflammation as my white cell count was high 1 year before diagnosis This was discovered when I offered myself to a drug company as a non-diabetic 'victim'. One of the many bits of data lost on the NHS. [/QUOTE]
