Misdiagnosis

When I first started this posting I figured I would write in chronological order. I got to thinking about how I was misdiagnosed and was curious how common this is.

In June of 1995 I had no symptoms. I was going to the doctor for a sports physical for school. They found sugar in my urine and shortly after that the doctor diagnosed me as a type 2 diabetic. I was prescribed pills and they didn't work because I'm a type 1 diabetic.

So I will pose a question. How many people with diabetes were originally diagnosed as the wrong type?
