[QUOTE="jemmaedias, post: 1260461, member: 274003"] It's great to hear you're well and healthy now Sam! I was diagnosed t1 about 9 months ago. It was pointed out by my optician that my prescription was worsening rapidly. He suggested I see the GP. That morning, my blood sugars reached 39.5. I was diagnosed with t2 by a junior doctor whose reasoning was that I wasn't in DKA. I am a 17 year old active and health conscious young girl! Of course this was checked and corrected by her supervisor, but it's always shocked me that that was all she seemed to need to diagnose t2. I did the FEFI course this summer and met loads of t1s, only two of whom had ever experienced DKA. I also have a friend of a similar age who was misdiagnosed for a year before starting insulin!
