Thanks Jo, I’ll read that - I’ve been learning so much in such a short time. I don’t know if I’m type 2 yet, the dr doesn’t know but suspects it. I’m very anxious as I also have a scan of my pancreas soon (I’ve had stomach issues for months, possibly ibs, and am underweight but split from long term partner at christmas and went on the heartbreak diet) I was given the Accu-check nano thing today and to start on 1/2 a tablet of 40g gliclazide.
I'm so sorry to hear of your additional troubles. As if diabetes isn't enough to deal with, eh. I'm guessing your doc's requested C-peptide and GAD tests then, to determine type? In any case, I do hope you'll get some proper answers soon. As things stand though, with your being underweight and unsure of type, if you
at any time feel unwell and test your blood sugars high, (nausea, confusion, that sort of thing), do call for help and tell them type is unsure. Okay? T2's don't get ketoacidosis, other types do, and it's not something you want to do a "wait and see" thing with. Not to scare you, but... Just keep an eye on your bloodsugars and general health eh.
Fingers crossed everything'll be sorted out in no time at all.
Jo
