[QUOTE="Jacquelineann, post: 885364, member: 190946"] Ah okay, thank you Catherinecherub. Actually, my diabetic nurse has said that I am a type 2 who has now become type 1 (which I believe is impossible) and when I asked the GP (her colleague) what made him think I was type 2 he said "Because most women of your age are"!! As my sister says my diabetes "behaves" like type 1 and other close family members are type 1 so that's the category I put myself in. I am in Spain and the knowledge of the condition within the National Health seems to be pretty minimal, so I am very grateful to have family members who are both medics and diabetic, and also for this site/forum. The more info i can glean the better! [/QUOTE]
