Message: <blockquote data-quote="Lazybones" data-source="post: 1430953" data-attributes="member: 85347">Diabetes as you will know is defined into several different groups and in general we diabetics fall into one or the other groups. There are however a few individuals who border on a particular group and may encroach into another group and in fact then be classified in more than one group.Some diabetics start off as being classified as Type 2 and over time the need for Insulin becomes apparant and they are then classified as Type 1.5 Diabetics or sometimes (possibly Miss-classified) as Type 1's.A 'Gad' blood test will generally show if the individual is Truely a Type 1 diabetic in the true sence, in that their pancreas has failed to produce insulin so I would suggest that you contact your new GP and ask exactly why you are now considered as being classified as a Type1 diabetic as this isn't something that any of us can truthfully answer without knowing your full medical history and what the recent blood test show.Please let us know what transpires - Best wishes - Lazybones.</blockquote>
