[QUOTE="Grateful, post: 1617091, member: 438800"] Am I right that what would usually happen in that case is that months (maybe a year or two?) later, the patient will develop more obvious T1/LADA symptoms? (This is the impression I get from the relatively frequent threads started by anxious people whose diabetes type is in doubt.) I wonder why, at diagnosis, the doctors do not systematically run those extra tests that help distinguish between insulin resistance, and a failing pancreas? Presumably because the majority of the late-adult/middle-age cases are T2? Or do they just figure, "if this diagnosis is wrong, symptoms will appear in due course and we can just change the diagnosis at that time"? Or is the diagnostic challenge really hard? It is rather strange! [/QUOTE]
