[QUOTE="Gnat, post: 2039389, member: 486772"] Yep, diagnosed T1 at 50, another oldie. Went to see my Doc - I think I have diabetes - no test, she just said, no you don't you're the wrong age and wrong body shape. But gave me a lab form with a glucose test on it in case my infection returned again. I got the test a couple of days later. Random BG of 12 or 15. Doctor couldn't see me for a week!! Then she told me not to see just any specialist, but to get into the right one, even if I had to wait!! No meds in the mean time, but luckily I asked for a BG meter. Luckily again I did not take her advice and got to the first specialist I could another week later. My glucose tolerance test was 23. Very lucky not to be DKA. [/QUOTE]
