[QUOTE="captaindave, post: 2313638, member: 518047"] One of my DNs ( who has now sadly moved job ) was forever saying to me she thought i was a T1 ( normal weight etc ), she pushed this up to her superiors, but was knocked back ( she told me this personally, and said it had taught her a lesson to stand her ground in future ) Anyway, partly at her insistence i had a test to determine if i was T1/T2 during 2018 ( cant remember exact date ) - after this I was advised i was T2. fast forward to December 2019, by this time i was on max dose of Metformin & Glicazide, but was really struggling with BG levels, constantly high readings. Had appointment at my local medical centre ( again during Dec 19 ) as a specialist diabetes nurse from hospital in nearest big city was there and they wanted me to see her... Myself & my wife were waiting about 30 mins after appointment time before being called in ( obviously specialist going thru all my history ) Then the bombshell - I WAS T1 !!! - it stated clearly on the 2018 test results that i was T1, but the staff at medical centre had either misread it or not read it completely, and told me i was T2 and continued treatment as such. So in Dec 19 i was finally put on Insulin, though they still will not give me a Freestyle Libre. Hope that explains it clearly enough. [/QUOTE]
