What is Diabetes Misdiagnosis?
Diabetes misdiagnosis is when a medical practitioner diagnoses you with diabetes when you have another condition, or even are perfectly healthy. This can cause complications due to receiving incorrect treatment and ultimately waste both time and money.
As diabetes is a serious medical condition that involves drastic treatment and lifestyle changes, this can be a great inconvenience for the patient and is classed on medical malpractice on the part of the professional who made the diagnosis.
If a person is misdiagnosed with type one or two diabetes, they can seek compensation for any effects they may have experienced that have had a significant impact on their day-to-day life with the help of Forbes Solicitors.

Elaine EdwardsI would like to say how eternally grateful I am for the service that Lisa has given us through this devastating time of losing my mum.
Lisa has been completely honest and upfront from the start with what to expect, and "held our hand" all the way
Whenever I needed to contact Lisa she would either answer straight away or get back to me very quickly. I do believe that Lisa is a credit to Forbes and would highly recommend her
AnonymousForbes have been our legal team for the past 6 years and John Bennett has been the solicitor for our case. The amount of work and dedication carried out from John has been immense. We have settled this case knowing my child will be set for life and have everything we will ever need. I feel very lucky to have found a solicitor so passionate about what he does. There isn’t anything in this world we could thank John with but, from the bottom of our hearts. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
Michelle MossLeonie was Very thorough and guided me through all the process from start to finish. Nothing was to much trouble. We won the case and hopefully because of her hard work and dedication we will see some improvements within the NHS
AnonymousJohn Bennett at Forbes has been patient, supportive and understanding. From the outset I felt that my case was in safe hands. Throughout the process I have found that John is happy to explain terminology and procedures so that I have felt reassured and comfortable.
Lisa BromilowI dealt with Lisa Atkinson from the Blackburn branch. Lisa was always open and honest with regards to what we could expect from the case. Always quick to respond to any query we had, updated us along the way and was always professional. I found her to be very thorough in all dealings that we had with her, and would not hesitate to use again. Thank you
Examples of Diabetes Misdiagnosis Negligence
There are a number of ways that a medical professional could be negligent by misdiagnosing a patient with diabetes, which then causes a number of after effects that then have to be dealt with. These include:
Providing the patient with the wrong treatment, which then means the actual condition is able to further advance and progress the patient's symptoms.
Offering a late diagnosis of diabetes which allows it to have severe effects upon the patient.
The patient may also experience complications as a result of receiving the wrong medication i.e., have a reaction to the insulin shots they do not need.
