I have been a type 1 for 21yrs and have come across some real stupid questions for people but the best thing I have ever heard was from a nurse.I am a nurse myself and one day at work we had a patient admitted, the nurse who gave me the patients history said that the patient was a type 1 diabetic, I enquired about the insulin regime to be told that they only took insulin once a day but also took metformin. Hmmm??? I said that can't be right for a type 1? And the nurse's response was "well they were a type 2 but now they take insulin that makes them a type 1" It shocks me the lack of knowledge that some medical professionals have and is also a bit scary.</blockquote>
