Hi, sprzepiora.
Same thing happened with me. They thought I was type 2 and then the endo figured out that it was type 1. I was living the life of a type 2 for about 4 weeks before being properly dxd.
I have to say, looking back, I'm GLAD I'm Type 1. I have far more control and I can pretty much eat whatever I want
even though I shouldn't. Just compensate with insulin.
I think being type 2 would be harder to control [for me] and overall I would be worse off.
Kind of makes me feel better too, knowing that there was nothing I could have done to prevent being diabetic [type 1]. I'm not saying that t2's brought it on themselves, by any means, I just mean that when your immune system decides it's time to attack your insulin cells there's not much you can do!
You'll get used to the insulin thing and be glad you are type 1.
