[QUOTE="michaeldavid, post: 390363, member: 57211"] I've done some more reading, and I don't believe I should withdraw anything I wrote. In particular, I read Anita's wording that the nurse said she suspects Anita is type 1.5. That's not a diagnosis, it's expressly a suspicion. (There were two other diagnoses preceding: first of type 2, and then of type 1.) And it's not even clear whether it's the doctor's suspicion, or merely the nurse's. I didn't write anywhere that the type doesn't matter. I think someone else needs to do some reading. One thing I'm ever more clear about is the haziness of the thinking of medical experts in regard to all forms of diabetes. In particular, the orthodox thinking in regard to diabetic management is appalling. Two things stand out for me in illustration of what's wrong with orthodox diabetic management. Anita herself expressed an all-too-understandable fear of a night-time hypo. And I believe that shows by far the greatest failing of orthodox thinking in regard to management. Second only to that is the general, shockingly bad HbA1c readings that one sees clear evidence of on this website. [/QUOTE]
