[QUOTE="In Response, post: 2596197, member: 527103"] It is rarer than type 2 but, as 30% of people diagnosed with type 2 are later realised to actually have Type 1, it is not as rare as you think. In the UK we have had a prime minster and speaker of the House of Commons diagnosed with Type 1 in their 50s. There is a myth that most people with Type 1 are diagnosed in childhood. This is NOT true. More than half of the people with [I]diagnosed[/I] Type 1 (as opposed to those who were incorrectly diagnosed with type 2 and has not been corrected) are diagnosed over the age of 20. Sadly, doctors are only starting to learn this. Hence the common misdiagnosis of type 2. [/QUOTE]
