[QUOTE="Deleted Account, post: 1480888"] [USER=407833]@k-d[/USER] diabetes is complicated. So much so that there is much that no one knows and we manage it through a number of guesses and approximations. There are some things we can control, like how many carbs we eat, but many that we cannot, like how long a honeymoon period can last. If we strive to find answers to everything about the disease, we risk diabetes controlling us rather than the other way around. So, whilst it may be great to label your diabetes as type 1, type 2, LADA, MODY or whatever type of diabetes, I would suggest you don't stress over knowing but concentrate on understanding your and managing your body. You say your BG seems to be all over the place. "All over the place" to one person with diabetes is great control to another. For example, yesterday my BG ranged from 2.7 to 12. Whilst this is a large range, I was not at either end of the scale for long and understand why: exercise and just eaten, respectively.
