I was 13 when diagnosed in 1981 and I was admitted to hospital and was in there for 2 weeks being stabilised.
I was due to be discharged awaiting a final meeting with a Dr and when he came with his "entourage" this brief but ridiculous interaction took place
(This is what I remember!)
Dr - So then Bernard, we were going to discharge you today but we are going to keep you in for a few more days as we are not happy with your sugar levels.
Me - I'm not Bernard
Dr - Sorry !
Me - I'm not Bernard
Dr - Who are you ?
Me - I'm Kevin
Dr - Your not Bernard Fitzpatrick !
Me - No I'm Kevin Fitzgerald
Dr - Your notes say your Bernard Fitzpatrick
Me - I'm not Bernard Fitzpatrick I'm Kevin Fitzgerald
Dr - Nurse can you confirm this
Nurse - Yes this is Kevin Fitzgerald
Dr - I think I've got the wrong notes !
