[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 1982021, member: 372717"] I was diagnosed in 1970 when there were only 3 recognised forms of diabetes: T1, T2 and gestational. In those days, the young and thin got T1, the old and fat got T2 and the pregnant got gestational. And the T1/T2 ratio was about 50-50. But even then it was recognised that you could get T1 up to the age of 30.... So I really don't understand how an endocrinologist could say that the OP was too old for T1 at 24: that's [I]never[/I] been the case.... And though we can't diagnose, I agree that the OP's symptoms sound like classic T1. To give credit to the endo though, they are probably just trying to cover all their bases. There are plenty of misdiagnosed T1s/T2s posting on these boards, it doesn't hurt to do due diligence at the beginning to make sure that [USER=500005]@rub3z[/USER] gets the right treatment. [/QUOTE]
