In November of 2008, a few months after my diagnosis, I attended a World Diabetes Day event at a local public health facilty. This was my first opportunity to meet diabetics I'd known online, and I met five. One of those five was a woman who'd contracted diabetes as an adult and been initially misdiagnosed as being Type 2. Another was also in that situation - but didn't yet know it. That's two out of five. It's a tiny, non-random sample, but it's still 40% of that tiny, non-random sample.
