And yet how many people do we get arriving on the forum who have been assigned T2, purely on the basis of age (perhaps especially in their mid 30s, but later in life too), who end up having to jump through all sorts of hoops to get an accurate classification of T1 or LADA, despite what the forum hive mind soon spots as an atypical T2 presentation - eg rapid onset, unintended weight loss, ketones, not overweight at diagnosis etc etc!
