Hi @Fenn
I was lucky with my Endo Professor Took at the RD&E, who from the off realised I was a non-producing t2, so I was given insulin from the start as I had other health issues that meant I could not take the normal route of tablet medication.
I have met many other diabetics who don't recognise my need for insulin and have had the same treatment from them that you have met with, it took long time to grow a thick skin.......... but now I don't give a fleas armpit what they think and tend to treat them with the contempt they deserve and ignore their nasty comments, its their bad not yours.
You are not to blame for what has happened, nor are you taking medication away from "more deserving" diabetics, your poor pancreas has done its best for a long time but has now run out of steam, it happens..........and they forget it may yet happen to them.
So chin up, look them in the eye and tell them to go to hell........albeit in your mind and not on the forum..........and yes I do LCHF to keep my insulin needs down as much as possible.
PS.....Wear your badge with pride and send the meanies my way, I take no prisoners.......
