[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 999576, member: 21149"] Hi and welcome. It's actually fairly common and I've been thru it. I'm still listed as a T2 as my GP didn't believe you could become T1 other than as a youngster. Eventually I was put onto insulin 1-2 years later than I should have been. Around 15-20% of 'T2s' are not overweight and I suspect a good chunk are mis-diagnosed LADA. The latest NICE Guidelines now say that if you are thin at diagnosis then T1 should be considered. If you are thin at diagnosis and/or have lost weight, have low-carb diet and don't respond to the 'set' of tablets then you are almost certainly not a T2. In some ways the diagnosis doesn't matter as long as you go onto insulin when needed. Are you on Basal/Bolus? If not do ask for that if your blood sugar still isn't well-controlled. [/QUOTE]
