Thanks, @Terry4! In addition to my blog, I do a lot of correspondence with various medical and diabetes entities, trying to get them to acknowledge the prevalence of adult-onset Type 1 diabetes, and see that misdiagnosis is a public health crisis. In recent years, I definitely have gotten more positive feedback–there is progress. But organizations such as AAFP (the family physician’s association) remain stubbornly in the dark ages. If a person gets diagnosed by their family practice doctor, there is a good chance that misdiagnosis will happen.
