| Can you document such stories, or are they urban legend? Typically, if you are misdiagnosed with diabetes, it's along the lines of being diagnosed as a Type 2 when in reality you are a Type 1 or vice versa.
There are a few blood tests that should be run to determine a diagnosis, obviously a blood sugar level, then a Glycosolated Hemoglobin A1c and a C-Peptide test. The results of such tests are pretty hard to argue with...
And as always, you should get a second opinion if you feel one is needed.
