I presented with a Bg of 19.3mmol at my GPs surgery in early November. It peaked at about 22mmol before starting to drop.
The tests at the hospital were inconclusive about which Type, so they sent off for specialist tests.
I was on Glicazide for a few months, but it started giving me Hypos so they took me off of it.
Since coming off of the meds I've been holding roughly between 6 and 6.5mmol, although I was closer to 10mmol most of this weekend.
Went with no ketones for ages. But got really high ones a few weeks back and have been holding steady at trace amounts since.
It turns out (and I found this out after I got diagnosed) that I'm a forth generational diabetic. My mother is borderline and her mother and grandmother both had Type 2 in old age. One of my Dad's cousins is an acute Type 1.
Given all the information above my consultant placed my odds of being Type 1 at 87%.
I get the results at 2pm today. D-Day.
Anyone care to guess what I'll hear?
