[QUOTE="nybrid, post: 861096, member: 163080"] Hi one and all, My specialist diagnosed me in Feb as type 1.5. HB test 7 and fasting test 16 I've now got my average BG down to 5.4 on my tester and last week's HB test came back at 5.5. I have eaten relatively low carb and not strayed at all. I've now been sent a letter saying I'm type 1 and will fairly soon need to go on insulin as my test showed GAD positive. (I have no exact GAD reading ) I only take 1 500g metformin a day. Am I in fact currently type 1.5/2 because I don't currently need insulin? Would a cpeptise test give me any valuable information? Occasionally I have a couple of glasses of red wine and my reading drops between 4.3 and 3.8. My doctor says this is a hypo but I have no hypo symptoms. Is she just being careful? With my readings 5.5 and diagnosed type 1 should I ask to come off metformin as my levels go lower rather than higher on average? I'm seeing the dietician and specialist in the next 3 weeks so any advise on the above most welcome. Thanks ☺ [/QUOTE]
