Hello.
This is my very first post so I hope I am in the right place?
I am 42 and have had type 2 for about 3 years.
I started with metformin and then because this wasn’t enough to keep my levels down my doctor added gliclazide.
This isn’t working either, so I went to see the diabetic specialist and he thinks I may be type 1 and has given me blood tests and urine tests to do.
I really don’t want to go onto injections (which is what he said I would probably need)
I had gestational diabetes and injected them and suffered with hypos all the time.
I’m basically wanting to know if any other type 2’s went to type 1 and how they handled the transition.
Many thanks for any help available
