potatoes, zucchini and egg, for dinner and then later - before going to bed - 2 slices of bread, cheese and ham. I am sorry if it was not clear re: diet. I would not say he is on diet to reduce weight, I would say he is on healthy diet ;) no diet really, sorry for confusion,

Thanks for that... are we sure about 4)? C peptid might be low = when production is suppressed by treatment with exogenous insulin. source: https://labtestsonline.org/understanding/analytes/c-peptide/tab/test/ what about MODY...

Thank you, I think this is what I was looking for ;) Thanks a lot. I hope it will be accurate to do this test now as he is on insulin already? ...low level of C peptid might be = when production is suppressed by treatment with exogenous insulin. source...

he was 30 when admitted, but.... since it went down and I would say also because he is on diet (not only because of insulin). He had 5.1 at 5pm and 10.1 after dinner tonight, which is quite 'normal' is not it?.

@mahola Yes, they provided good education re: hypos and hypergl. but He does not have hypos at all, however I am confused as how did the diagnosed him. I can see so many people here with Type 2 and being on metformine with very similar symptoms/instead of being on insulin for rest of his life...

his ketones were 0.8 on admission and went down later. I was reading in this forum that Lantus dose is recommended 0.2 unit per kg, so that's why I asked, as he is getting twice of recommended dose, is not he?

Hi All, I know I should ask the doctor but we will talk to him in 6 weeks and would like to be ready then to discuss this with him.... My son was diagnosed only on Saturday; discharged from hospital today. When diagnosed his BG was over 30. HBA1C was 11% (or 97 mmol/mol (normal between...

Hi @paulus1 my understanding is that if you are type 2 - that might be reversible and you might not need insulin for life?

@paulus1 Thank you, I fell like I went through all these stages in 1 day, except of the last one... I am so angry that when nobody can see or hear me - I would be screaming in the car. I am sorry to hear about all your experience as well. Thanks for sharing @Dannymum you have to be very brave...

Thanks @Dannymum unfortunately we are based in Ireland and we were told that there is no research under age of 18 here at all...that was my question to them, as we would gladly take a part. Spoke to doctor today prior discharge and asked him to check vitamin D, so results will be next week...

I know @Robinredbreast however a few years ago cows were not getting hormones as they are getting now to increase their production.

@Bertyboy Thanks Bertyboy, I just mentioned that because of this article: Cows’ milk A further theory is that cow’s milk could be a factor linked with development of type 1 diabetes. Research studies have shown earlier introduction of cow’s milk to be associated with a higher risk of type 1...

Btw. One thing that crossed my mind re:triggers is a cow milk. My son was drinking too much milk prior his diagnoses. However I am not sure if he was drinking too much milk as he was extremely thirsty - as a symptom of T1 or if it was cause of T1. He drank a lot of milk in past 2 months. I got 3...

@himtoo @urbanracer @paulus1 @Robinredbreast @Bertyboy Thank you All sooo much for your support. My son is going to be discharged tomorrow and I feel that I am not ready for that yet, and not sure if I would be at all at any time - ready for something like this? There was a good education...
