[QUOTE="KK123, post: 2408928, member: 451727"] Hi there, I was in my 50s so I'm sure the actual age must come into it too. I think that overall it just shows how many factors and sets of circumstances are looked at, and dependent upon which GP or Consultant is in front of you they come to a sometimes immediate, conclusion. I really think that they should do all the tests available when anybody is diagnosed but of course I know that's a money issue. I am positive that if I had been overweight they would have sent me off as a type 2 as they did 3 years prior to diagnosis when they said I was 'pre diabetic', again back then I was thin as a rake etc and didn't fit the so called profile but NO further tests done. I wonder why they are happy to look at a 30yr old and say 'type 1' with no further tests in some cases or immediate further tests in others and so on. It really seems like the luck of the draw which is very wrong. As for anyone overweight it's even worse when they jump to conclusions based solely on weight. [/QUOTE]
