Hi everyone,
I have an acquaintance who has recently been shocked to be told that they are Type 2 diabetic, having been diagnosed as Type 1 around 20 years ago!
Since the diagnosis in 1990 they have obviously been injecting every day and their lifestyle naturally changed enormously because of all the adjustments necessary. Now to be told they are (and presumably always have been) Type 2 seems incredible after all this time! Apparently, it seems, 20 years of injecting was unnecessary!
This wrong diagnosis was apparently only picked up recently because my acquaintance controlled their diabetes so well over the years, with their stats showing up as being 'too perfect' by a puzzled consultant.
Surely this is highly unusual. Has anyone out there ever heard of such a mis-diagnosis before?
