Got told I was type 1 in November '04. I was in the middle of my exams for my ppl. Dropped out and never went back. Pretty much treated like a second class citizen by IAA. I had been using less and less insulin over the past 12 months to the extent that I was using nothing. Being with a new consultant, got the official word this week after over 3 years that it was a mistake and Im type 2. Now taking 2 metformin tabs a day. Check with your doctors, mistakes have been made in the past, check that you are definatly type 1. Im going for my type 2 medical and then its back in the cockpit by the summer!
