[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2396148, member: 372717"] Your doctor is clueless. T1 also happens in older people but it is more likely to be LADA (slow onset T1) aka Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in Adults. It's slower onset than T1 and can be diagnosed via a cpeptide test (sees how much insulin you are producing) and a GAD test (tests for antibodies that show you are killing your insulin cells.) Not saying you are necessarily LADA but your GP should do the tests (or refer you to a consultant who can authorise them). Good luck. [/QUOTE]
