The same thing happened to me. I was diagnosed with type2 diabetes. My GP at the time said I could not have type1 as I was too old at 68yrs. I tried to discuss this with him. But he wasn’t listening. I was prescribed metformin. I bought a accu chek to measure levels as I was losing weight...

Also would you want to be sick abroad. I am not getting on a plane for a long time.
