[QUOTE="barrym, post: 2617218, member: 70535"] For my benefit, why does it matter? I ask the question because I was diagnosed by my GP, who is a good chap in most respects but not necessarily a diabetes specialist. He passed me on to a practice nurse who looked after diabetes, just non injecting ones! After a while of NOT managing I was passed on to an Endo who got a grip of a treatment plan. I did get a GAD test but as mentioned above it was negative. No C-pep though. Apart from some perceived fault apportionment by some people if you are T2, which I wanted to be able to contradict, what difference is there in a label? You have to treat it with whatever works. That said. I do wear my T1 badge with honour - just wish I didn't have to :( . [/QUOTE]
