Hi - This is my first post and was hopefully looking for some advice. I was diagnosed with Type 2 last February with sugar levels around 29.
During my assessment in September I was informed about the GAD antibodies and told I'd be on insulin 'sooner rather than later'. I'm due to go back to the hospital on 1st March.
I seem to be either finding it more difficult to bring below 8 after 2 hrs or certain things are affecting me more than other. I don't necessarily low carb but certainly minimise my carb intake in comparison with before.
My constant fasting level is about 6.5. And two hrs after shredded wheat I'm about 7. The problem is that some times I'm hitting 11 after two hrs - not after shredded wheat........
I know it’s a lengthy post but in summary I'm wondering what the Consultants position will be in March. Do you think they will put me on insulin? Should I be asking for it? Got a funny feeling my HBA1C will still be around 42ish
Thanks
Rob
