[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 1187822, member: 21149"] I had a hernia operation this week and the medical staff were aware that I was on insulin. I had excellent treatment throughout and was allowed to keep and do my own insulin. My anaesthetist was lovely and obviously very competent but when we discussed my insulin use after the op if I went outside BS limits it was obvious she had never heard of Late onset T1 and smiled politely when I said I was one of those. We agreed the definition was irrelevant as I was on MDI and that was all that mattered. I did point out that being labelled T2 caused the refusal of insulin by my GP until my HBa1C went quite high. Conversely the hospital cardiac doctor who was called when my heart fluttered in recovery was well aware on Late onset T1 and went along with it. So, there is still a lot of work to be done to ensure all medics get the right diabetes education when they do have that training; my diabetes GP straight off her training course was not aware of it.
