Type of diabetes
Type 1
Treatment type
Insulin
Was diagnosed with type 1 2 and half years ago so been taking insulin since then but recently changed Dr and found and actually haven't been diagnosed with type 1 and could be type 2 is this something that I should be worried with
 
Well if you are T2 then you potentially have more options to control your diabetes. I would ask your doctor to explain and to do the tests to check which type you are.

The scary thing is the old Dr should of done the test and found out they haven't and all I know is I'm diabetic
 
Yes that is scary, but push for it now and let us know when you get the results. :)
 
Hi. That's worrying. Yes, do ask for at least a GAD test. If this is positive you are T1 and if it's negative you are more likely to be T2. Are you slim or overweight? Why did the new Dr think you weren't T1?
 
slightly overweight for height and I will ask about that he looked at my record and said I've not been diagnosed with either he said all he know is I'm diabetic
