My doctor said I didn't have either type 1 or type 2 diabetes. What does this mean?

Please help. I'm very confused. If I do have neither type 1 or type 2 diabetes, just ''diabetes'' could I get type 1 or 2 in the future?
Please help. I'm very confused. I take in daily doses of insulin but with an inhaler. If I do have neither type 1 or type 2 diabetes, but some other form... Could I get type 1 or 2 in the future?

If he said you don't have either type, what are are you confused about exactly? It's either or. As far as I know there is nothing in between. If your confused call your Dr and get it clarified.

theres onlt type 1 or 2. thats it if u have neither then your not diabetic. Type 1 is more serious where you need jabs each day. and type 2 isnt so bad as you can ocntrol it with tablets.
