Have you not how many people come on here and think they have been diagnosed the wrong type? ( including me) I dont think people are being told enough why they are a certain type and why they couldn't be the other and if the docs aren't sure themselves they should do a lot more testing for...

Trying to explain what i mean...... When a type 2 goes on to insulin is there a difference in control than type 1? Why does it not make them type 1 when this happens or does it?
