[QUOTE="sgm14, post: 2338578, member: 517358"] Not a stupid question, but one I'm not sure about. One thing I have learned is everyone is different in some way and the comments my endo made were about me and may not apply more generally. The reason some people get upset, (at least this is my impression) is that they believe they have been denied some treatment/equipment because of their classification and if they don't agree with their classification that can be frustrating. For example in the US, insurance companies may refuse to pay for insulin pumps, etc and the patient, rightly or wrongly, believe that decision was based solely on their 'type'. Here, in the UK, I wasn't sure whether I would get the FreeStyle libre on the NHS, but thankfully I did. [/QUOTE]
