[QUOTE="Deleted Account, post: 1539802"] I have always assumed the test to determine t1 vs t2 was expensive to run which it seems to be so rare and diabetes type is so often guessed/assumed. It was not run for me: I was "scientifically" diagnosed t1 in my mid-30s because I was slim and active. The diagnosis seems to be correct so I have no room for complaint. However, it is frustrating that t2 is so often assumed because of age. Last year, I read an article (wish I could find it now) which said that more than half t1 were diagnosed over the age of 20. So much for it being [B]Juvenile[/B] Diabetes. I wish we could bin that term: it's not as if children grow out of it. [/QUOTE]
