Can I change from type 2 diabetes to type 1 ?
Please dont call it ‘double diabetes’ there’s no such thing. It isn’t possible for a type 1 to also have type 2 as that would mean they are producing insulin again which they are not. It’s called having type 1 with insulin resistance.
Totally agree with you on that. The confusion when you tell people you are diabetic then they ask if you are the bad 1 or not . I seriously think different names would be better!You must agree it’s a stupid term. It doesn’t help with trying to understand the many types of diabetes, not just type 1 and 2. Using the term ‘double diabetes’ is probably why so many people think type 1 can become type 2 and vice versa.
Did they say why they thought that?I asked because at hospital the diabetic nurse Said that I am now type 1 after 10 years of being type 2.
If only more thought had gone into the naming game back in the day. I have to agree with you and the confusion when you simply say “ diabetic “ Emphasis your type of diabetes and people think your attempting some form of one upmanship. Especially with being type 1 and no1 being a more important number in some people’s eyes.Totally agree with you on that. The confusion when you tell people you are diabetic then they ask if you are the bad 1 or not . I seriously think different names would be better!
