Hi I feel I need to reintroduce myself as I haven't been on here for quite a long time. Before my bg levels were through the roof to the point my meter couldn't read any higher than 33.3. My GP was trying me on tabs which clearly weren't working at all. I had people on here crying out for me to speak to my GP that my levels were dangerously high, a lot of people thought I was late onset type 1. I ended up in hospital and only then my doc decided to stop the tabs and put me onto insulin. People on here were right I am late onset type 1. I would like to thank everyone who helped and gave me advice without your help and support I'm not sure if I could have got through it alone. Just one thing I have gained so much weight since being on insulin. Is it normal to gain weight? My diet hasn't changed (only for the better) and I'm not a big eater.
