OK; fair point. What I was trying to say was that several people have suggested that the OP may be T1 rather than T2 and that I don't personally think there's much point in speculating about this without being in full possession of the facts, which none of us are. The reason I went off on one - a bit - was because I had very similar responses when I first posted on here, which mainly had the effect of turning worry and concern (about a diagnosis of T2) into blind panic (that I might have T1). That turned out to be uninformed nonsense and I just wanted to underline that, however much we may doubt the advice given to us about treatment of our condition by the medical profession (and I share those doubts) they usually get the diagnosis right except in a handful of cases, particularly when there's a family history of T2, which seems to be the case here. At the moment, we have the OP saying that he's "more scared" because it's been suggested that he may have T1, which isn't really helping anyone and, on the balance of probability, is likely to be a baseless worry.
Anyway, I didn't join the thread to start an argument and I do agree that is a sensible way forward if the OP is in any doubt about the diagnosis of T2.
