[QUOTE="Resurgam, post: 1869318, member: 355878"] A lifelong friend of my brother in law was told he was type one and prescribed insulin. He was a lorry driver with a family and he lost everything - job, house, family - even contact with his children. He did not stay in touch with friends though my sister mentioned they'd seen him from time to time, as he'd been best man at their wedding, but that he was constantly having hypos and 'was not the same person'. When the consultant at the hospital retired and he saw a new one he got a phone call shortly afterwards to tell him to stop taking the insulin as he was not type one and never had been. He turned up at my sisters in a terrible state - very distressed by all that he'd lost. I have asked about him a couple of times, but it seems that he's vanished from the area. [/QUOTE]
