Hello and Welcome Becky 🙂 It is quite common it seems for there to be some confusion over diagnosis with some doctors .
Are you on any Medication atm? 🙂 When were you diagnosed , quite recently?
 
yes metformin and simvistin . I was diagnosed when I was 29 years old . How are you ?
 
Welcome Becky, My doctor didn't know what type I was, just sent me to the hospital!!

Hi Becky, welcome to the forum!🙂 There are many different types of diabetes, and not all doctors are aware of them or the differences between them. What is important is that the medication you are taking is helping to keep your blood sugar levels as stable as possible, and in 'normal' range.

The two main forms that most people have hard of are Type 1, which means your body has stopped producing its own insulin so you have to inject it, and Type 2 which may mean you are still producing insulin but your body needs medication to help it to process the glucose in your blood. Some Type 2s also need to inject insulin.

If you have any questions, please ask, there are lots of friendly people here that will do their best to help!🙂

p.s. Don't be concerned at being a 'junior' member - this just relates to the number of posts a person has made on the forum. When you have posted 30 times, you become a 'Member', and whe you have posted 100 times you become a 'Senior Member'.
 
Welcome Becky.

Diabetes is diabetes be it type1 or type2, there can be differences in treatment but you are the one that can decide which is working best for you.
This is a great group, we all support each other where we can and a little comment on something you do might sound trivial, but to someone reading it that might be the answer to something that suits them.

Best wishes
