I actually did the same. I have a familial history of type 2. The main difference between type 1 diabetics & type 2 are actually quite simple to spot. Type 1 diabetics are very slender/skinny, don't gain weight & usually are diagnosed in early childhood. That's not to say that one cannot develop type 1 during adolescence/adulthood. However type 2 diabetics have what we call "apple fat" meaning they have more belly fat & usually develop type 2 during adulthood. Regardless I hope all turned out to be well for you.
