[QUOTE="emiliano, post: 687441, member: 141868"] Hi everybody, reading through this very helpful forum I discovered about this 1.5 type diabetes which seems to be my case. could anybody give me some info about it? I always thought of myself as a Type 1, but maybe that's not the case. I become aware of my diabetes at age 37 (seven years ago), after a very difficult period of my life, which included heavy drinking, careless eating and much stress. I've never been obese, but rather massively built and quite muscular. always been a nervous eater, but also lead a very active life sportwise so I never ever gained excess weight. No history of diabetes in my family. Was put on metf at first due to my age, then I went through the usual "honeymoon" during which I could manage things just watching my diet and exercising. Than, gradually, insulin. My HBA1c has always been around 7% or less so I'm doing fairly good. Now I extremely low carb, run, lift weights, play basketball, trek, walk the dog, walk without the dog... anything. I'm reasonably healthy and strong and satisfied with how things are going. I inject in average less than 40 (24 basal) insulin units per day at 85 -87 kgs. I'd like to know if are there some peculiarities about this 1.5 type I can take advantage of. or should I treat it as a "normal" type1? thanks in advance! [/QUOTE]
