[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 1407292, member: 21149"] I'm sorry but I have to disagree with you. I'm not aware that T1 is defined purely as an auto-immune disease. Mostly T2s don't suffer from reduced insulin output but in fact too much due to insulin resistance. It's just as confusing to be classified as a 'T2' when you are slim and suffering from low-insulin when the majority will result from a completely different cause i.e. excess weight and insulin resistance is not helpful. It was this confusion and ignorance on the part of my GP that caused my insulin to be delayed for a year or so when needed. To quote 'You are not T1 you are T2 and insulin is a last resort'. So I will continue to refer to myself as Late onset T1 as the cause of the islet failure is irrelevant but the right treatment is. I accept that those with an auto-immune cause should be monitored for other auto-immune conditions just as I would have liked to be treated for low insulin and not bundled in the T2 group. and fed with the complete set of tablets when they were no longer working.
