Hi,
I am 28 years old ,
I have in the last two days been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes . I have to wait for the final blood test which takes 3 weeks, for the confirmation but two doctors have said they are 90% sure it is type 1 .
but I feel I haven’t had the typical symptoms , ( needing to wee a lot etc
I have lost over 2 stone over a short period of time ( not sure exactly how long ) probably a month and a bit
and I have been drinking lots of water in the evening , but I’ve done that for months or even years so aren’t sure it’s to do with the diabetes
I had a HBA1c test , the result was 118 , the doctor called and said I should go to hospital . There, it was discovered I had high ketones plus high blood glucose
my ketones ( from a finger test ) have been varying from around 4.1 ( once was 4.9) to 1
earlier today my blood glucose was 18 and ketones were 1 ( earlier than that , the ketones were 4
Do you think it sounds like I have type 1 diabetes ?
Thank you
