[QUOTE="ickihun, post: 1637692, member: 196960"] I'm much healthier on insulin. As gliclizide stopped working for me too. All meds stopped working, even metformin. However since my diet from high carb to low carb metformin is helping me again, off and on. My notes say I'm type2 with hugely insulin resistance. I was diagnosed type2 before my 2 insulin needing pregnancies. You may still be type2. Some type2s are'nt overweight. However as [USER=32394]@catapillar[/USER] has stated a type1 has a completely different form of diabetes. Only common thing is the effect on blood glucose levels and causing possible complications which is why both called diabetes. A medic sees diabetes then thinks 'ah! it's effects are.......' Two different causes. Myself I've come to the conclusion I have what I have and I just need to manage it well. If it came out in the future I was a rare form of type1 then so be it. I still need insulin to manage [B]my diabetes. [/B]Irrespective of its type. Even some type1s do what I'm doing, reducing weight to reach a better bmi and keeping carbs from getting too high. Diabetes is for life, even if you gain remission or reversal. It still has to be managed to stay that way. It's not a death sentence. In fact I live healthier than my whole family. Everyone of them. I'm the only diabetic. [/QUOTE]
