| Is this a term that's recognized by the medical establishment? What I mean is, if I ask my endocrinologist about it, will he give me a funny look or take me serious?
I'm curious because I'm less than 5 years post type 2 diagnosis, and I'm already at the point where oral meds weren't doing enough. The first nutritionist/diabetes educator that I saw after my dx seemed very skeptical that I was actually a type 2, but I had chalked that up to a latent misconception about how early people can get "adult onset" diabetes. Any thoughts?
