Doctors not listening to me about my diabetes treatment

Exactly they need too

I got my diabetes at age 55. The test showed that I was Type1 but my dr didnt want to believe it because it was unheard of at that age. Drs are educated toward the norm but they need to accept the exceptions too.

My current doctor acted like I couldn’t have type 1 because I was over 30 years old and a little over weight. It was like really, doctors found out years and years ago that older adults can have type 1 also and that kids can get type 2

Exactly right. I have already started looking for a better one that works with my insurance.

You should definitely find another Endocronologist. A year ago I found a great doctor after years of having no so great ones. It’s your body and no one better than you knows what works.

Yes I know about the test, I had it done and found out that I do have type 1 and not type 2.

There’s a blood test that’ll tell whether you’re type 1 or 2. I know people who think they have type 1 because they use insulin and that’s not true. Type 1 is an autoimmune disease and type 2 is not.

Diabetes is different for everyone . You know what works for you.Maybe find a different Endo if you can, one that will listen better.
