Diagnosed in February of this year. Blood tests that my dr. Forced me to do. A1C came back at 13.6% and fasting was 22mmol.
The dr sent me to the ER as type 1, ER released me as Type 2, a week later internal medicine sent me back to the ER as type 1, ER released me again as type 2 but gave me a prescription for a meter.... Went to the appointment at the diabetic clinic 5 days later who looked at everything and said nope, you are type 1 and showed me how to use insulin. I met with them regularly. Endo confirmed type 1 a few weeks after that.
It was a rollercoaster ride but thankfully they kept pushing.
