Obviously, having the patient stuck between two or three doctors who disagree is a rotten situation. At that point, the patient is basically getting to choose what the correct diagnosis should be (at least, that’s how it works in the U.S.). None of us went to medical school and, of course, nobody here is qualified to tell you definitively what the correct diagnosis is.
In spite of him/her not being the diabetes expert, your GP could still be right. The idea of getting your blood sugar under control first and putting off a final diagnosis until later doesn’t sound unreasonable to me. In the U.S. there wouldn’t be a clear downside to that. In the UK, OTOH, the benefits seem more generous with Type 1.
