[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 749885, member: 21149"] Hi and welcome. I'm afraid too many GPs assume T2 rather than late onset T1; mine did. It's good you now have the right diagnosis. With insulin your partner will potentially have complete control. I would expect him to be on two insulins (Basal/Bolus) and if he hasn't already been started on carb-counting for the carb content of meals he should be shortly. Seek the GPs or nurses guidance and ask more question on the T1 forum. It is important to control the amount of overall carbs your partner has to avoid weight gain and excessive insulin. As long as he maintains a sensible BMI then all should be fine. [/QUOTE]
