She Was Misdiagnosed Alongside Type Two - Whatever Advice?



So I was out an most the other nighttime amongst a friend who wanted me to consider her friend Dee thence nosotros could speak most diabetes. 
So long storey short, I got Dee's digits, called her on the telephone in addition to introduced myself. 
And it turns out Dee was told she had type two diabetes "leanings" nineteen years agone afterwards having gestational diabetes during her terminal pregnancy. Since thence she's been working difficult to remain salubrious & to produce what her Endo told her to do. 
Her weight is normal in addition to she does her best to consume healthy, but 4 years agone she was told to get-go insulin therapy. She's been taking four to six insulin shots a day, including 1 shot of Lantus ever since. 
But no thing what DEE did, she all the same was feeling terrible. 
Do y'all consider where this is going? 
Dee establish herself a novel Endo of late & surprise, surprise, her novel Endo feels that she was misdiagnosed. He feels she fits around where inwards the type 1 spectrum.
In my humble opinion, I don't actually know if Dee had or has type 2, precisely I produce mean value that Dee could friction match inwards the LADA/1.5 spectrum, in addition to I mentioned that to her. 
But I'm non a MD  and I don't play ane on Tv, thence I could move wrong. I hateful I ever idea that LADA could plow into type1. Turns out, that's non necessarily how it works.
But whatever she is... or isn't, she's pissed most all the years that convey gone yesteryear and all the years of feeling similar crap, both mentally in addition to physically. An she feels similar no ane was listening to her inwards the yesteryear  when it came t her health, in addition to that infuriates her. 
Like I said, she’s been doing everything right. Testing similar a mad woman, counting her carbs, everything! 
Dee likes her novel Endo in addition to is coming together amongst a CDE on Mon to become over her most recents labs in addition to larn around tricks of the diabetes trade. 

I told her most the DOC (and emailed her all sorts of DOC links) in addition to I told her how low in addition to diabetes become manus in addition to hand, in addition to how that she has to hang inwards there. 
I told her that I mean value her novel Endo sounds swell in addition to that working amongst a CDE is a life changing experience that tin move alone assist her. 
I told her most all my friends amongst LADA/type 1.5  and how many of them received the incorrect diagnoses. 

So DOCers, if y'all were given the incorrect diabetes diagnoses equally an adult, how did y'all acquire the correct one? 
How did y'all experience most beingness misdiagnosed & what words of encouragement tin move y'all give Dee & others who are feeling angry, overwhelmed in addition to lamentable re: their years of beingness misdiagnosed?
