I was diagnosed as type 2 around 18 months ago. My question is has anyone been diagnosed as type 2 but actually ended up being type 1?
I’m overweight and I haven’t lost any weight that I’m aware of. I know weight loss is a big indicator of type 1 but is that always the case? Can people be overweight and still be type 1?
Does it make you more likely to end up type 1 if you have type 2?
I have symptoms which I presume are type 2 related such as slow healing wounds, itching under arms, legs and genital area. I also have increased thirst and feel hungry very often. I find my mood is effected also.
I have a blood test every 3 months but don’t have the money to get a pen and strips ect for home testing so I have no way of knowing if things are changing?
Just looking for other people’s experiences really and to see if anyone was like I am now and ended up type 1 or miss diagnosed?
Many thanks
Amy
