Hi Everyone, a pleasure to meet you all. I have been a diabetic for approx 7 years and have been diagnosed as type 2 diabetic by a previous Doctor, I am 63 years of age..
I had a new doctor examine me yesterday who was surprised I was type 2 as I follow none of the ordinary rules governing this e.g. not overweight, I am physically fit, no family history etc. I am on insulin, having previously on Metformin as only this seems to control my blood sugars. She suggested I might be type 1 diabetic with delayed onset; that is a big delay! Has anyone come across this before ? Or any comments ?
Thanks in advance
John
