Hi I was diagnosed to have Type1 diabetes now 6 months later its been changed to Type2. How is this possible...?
 
Hi arunkolathu_uk:) Think you need to find out for sure? I would ring up the GP surgery and just ask them to confirm which type you have.:)

Have you had both a c-peptide and GAD test done? The only way they can really suggest that you are not T1 is if both these tests come back. with appropriate results.

Agreed. Ask the GP why you were originally diagnosed as T1 and why it has changed. Ask for the c-peptide and GAD tests. What medication if any have you been taking? If T1 you should probably have been on insulin or at the minimum some tablets beyond Metformin.
