[QUOTE="bowtimeiwon, post: 978474, member: 48254"] Hi Paul, I was diagnosed as being a type 2 some 20 years ago, the last ten years being treated with insulin and metformin. Two years ago I had to go to the local A & E Dept following an injury. After telling the triage nurse that I was type 2 diabetic, I gave her a list of medication...she got annoyed saying that because I was on Insulin I had to be type ! and was exasperated that I had misled her! I tried to explain that I was still type 2, but treated with insulin. I eventually got her to ring the diabetic clinic...her tone then changed and to give her credit she apologized saying that she had had little training in diabetes. [/QUOTE]
