I found out the hard way. There are ER doctors that assume you are T2D (no test). They gave me some insulin IV to bring my sugar (from 700+) down and sent me home with metformin. I was 3000 miles from home so when I felt worse the following day and went back the PA told me I could not keep coming in there. So they sent me to an Endo that gave me some nausea meds and told me I was having a reaction to metformin. Guess what happened on day 4.... yes, I'm sure you guessed it. Had to be driven to ER and immediately put in ICU, DKA, kidneys shut down, liver enzymes sky high and heart messed up. So if someone would have noticed the other symptoms(weight loss, very high glucose even with modified diet and nausea) I would not still be in dept from 50k of hospital bills, not to mention the months of rehab to regain my strength.

Thanks Sutter Roseville Medical Center! I hope your ER docs get some education before they kill a late onset t1d.
