[QUOTE="Circuspony, post: 1599080, member: 432241"] I thought my GP was bad, but reading some of these stories makes me feel quite lucky! I rolled up at the surgery with blurry vision and weight loss. They took a urine sample and it showed high sugars and ketones. I now know they should have sent me to A&E then. Instead we had 10 days of faffing around while they insisted I was a type 2 because I'm in my 40s and type 1 is what children get. I got on google at some point during this process and proceeded to tick off about 8 of the 10 type 1 characteristics, so knew what I'd got - just needed the doctors to get on the same page. When my BG figures kept getting worse (& I'd gone to low carb diet by then) they packed me off to A&E with a 'well maybe you are type 1 after all then'. [/QUOTE]
