[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 1190324, member: 21149"] Yes, I have T2 in my notes and that is still a problem as it was in my GPs guidance to my surgeon. My diabetes GP when I questioned my T2 diagnosis a few years back said 'you're not T1 therefore you are T2. I have 500 diabetes patients so know what I'm talking about'. She had only recently finished her 1 week diabetes training! So I call myself a T1 to keep it simple and I'm still listed as T2. These mid-diagnoses must skew the national statistics and training and ultimately affect research. BTW when I left the surgery on that occasion she asked if there was diabetes in the family I said my nephew was diagnosed T1 at age 22 in A&E and she said 'that's unusual'. Other than the lack of good diabetes training in this area she is an excellent GP. [/QUOTE]
