[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 1820263, member: 372717"] Also, since 90% of diabetics are T2 now, the doctors tend to assume T2 unless there are obvious indications to the contrary (young child in DKA). When I was diagnosed, nearly 50 years ago, the rules were simple. (No one had heard of 3c or reactive hypoglycemia). There was T1, T2 and gestational diabetes. If you were young (under 30) and not overweight, you were T1. If you were older (and overweight) you were T2. If you were pregnant with high blood sugars (and not already T1) then you had gestational diabetes, which would turn into T1 if you had more than 2 children. And the T1/T2 split was 50/50. Maybe there were some exceptions to this, but I never heard of them. It's a LOT more complicated now....:) [/QUOTE]
