Well said on the last part sparkle9. My horror story: Was diagnosed by family GP with type 1. Put on oral meds(yes, i said oral meds). Went on like this for one year. Admitted to hospital in DKA. Docs at hospital were giving me IV glucose but no insulin(my sister had to tell them again that I was in there for diabetes and DKA !!!!!!). This was on day of admittance. Finally turned over to Peditrician who started things out right (after about a 3 hr. slow glucose drip !!!!!). IDIOTS . The story continues........ good CDE now. Endo appt. in January.
