[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 709128, member: 21149"] Hi and welcome. I'm not quite sure what you mean by T1.5 and then steroid induced T2? It sounds like your diagnosis wasn't explained very clearly? If you have been on steroids and the diabetes is suspected of being caused by that then it is a condition that would normally clear itself as and when you come off steroids. Yes, it would probably be treated as if it's T2. T1.5 aka LADA (Late onset T1) is caused by a failing pancreas and not normally related to steroids. If so then this would need tablets and lead to insulin in the longer-term. I'm generalsing a bit. You may want to get clarification from the your GP/nurse. Either way having a low-carb diet will help reduce blood sugar and if this isn't adequate then tablets may be started. Do ask more questions and let us know what treatment you have been prescribed if any. [/QUOTE]
