[QUOTE="Antje77, post: 2459306, member: 372207"] I don't think there's an alarming rate of children misdiagnosed as T1. This is usually a very straight forward diagnosis. GP's aren't very knowledgable on T1 as a rule, which is why most of us are treated by a specialised team of endocrinologists and diabetes specialist nurses, especially when underage. Other often seen members on those teams are dieticians and (child) psychologists. Your GP is likely to refer you back to the hospital, where there is more knowledge on the subject. Would you like to tell us a bit more on your feelings? Hearing your child has a serious condition must be very, very hard on a parent, and it brings along a form of grief. Anger, denial, depression, bargaining are all part of grief. Have you asked yourself why you are not accepting this diagnosis and are looking for however small possibilities it's wrong? Regardless of the diagnosis, those blood sugars need to come down first and foremost, and insulin is the way to do that. Finding out the exact root of the high blood glucose comes second place.
