I was diagnosed with Type 1 at 64 and 17-18 Stones. True at the start they said T2 but then had antibody test and well the rest is history.
However my GP and the nurses at the GP practice still question me and say I’m mistaken when I say T1 as my age according to them is all wrong.
The consultant and Diabetes Centre at Broomfield Hospital agree with the blood test, which they had done due to family history. The nurse who sent me for test said, it’s probably T2 but due to your mother being T1 from early age we will check. They rang me a fortnight later saying the blood test shows antibodies in abundance.
So even if you fit the profile for T2 ????????????
