The simple answer is it won't harm you. There is actually been proven recently a misdiagnosis of people that were diagnosed younger than 6 months old.

I can't remember the full diagnosis causes but they were immediately put on insulin. Then down the road, many many years down, they were determined to not need the insulin and were immediately taken off at which point thier body took over full control without any problems.

Your body is a amazing item in that if it sees insulin being given it will produce less of it. The problem is when too much insulin is given the body can't quite compensate for that accurately. But if you happen to be newly diagnosed and given insulin and then misdiagnosed, the amount of insulin they would put you on is nothing that would drop you low enough to worry about.

Good luck and here's crossing my fingers for you either way.

Diabetes is an Art, NOT a Science. You must master the control by skills and not by knowledge alone.
