[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 1637465, member: 21149"] Hi. As Catapillar says you don't change from T2 to T1 but mis-diagnosis is quite common - I'm one of those. It's good that your consultant is doing the right thing giving you further tests. Even though you had insulin hypo problems before I wouldn't worry. With a well balanced insulin regime i.e. Basal/Bolus when tuned with carb-counting should avoid serious or even any hypos. Basal/Bolus involves two insulins and 4 to 5 injections. It may sound awful but it isn't. I don't know what regime you were on before? I've now been on insulin for around 4 years and never gone below 3.6 and never seriously hypo. By keeping the carbs down you minimise swings which all helps. I wouldn't go back to all the tablets which didn't work anyway. [/QUOTE]
